Tomorrow there's going to be plenty of Disney princesses and Avengers walking door to door asking for candy.
But we're sure there's going to be some angels, pharaohs and maybe even a few Moses' walking around too. If we just named your child's Halloween costume, or if you have a faith-based costume that's even more creative, we want photos!
Please send pictures of your religious/faith-based costumes to tracysimmons@favs.news so we can share it on this site and on our Pinterest page.
