St. Elizabeth of Hungary (Leena). This queen was so generous to the poor that her husband was worried that there wouldn't be enough to eat at the palace. One winter day, he saw her go out with her cloak full of bread for the poor. When he demanded that she open her cloak, it was miraculously full of roses.
David, as in David and Goliath. That's Goliath's head being used as a candy holder - you put it into his open neck... This was totally Zorg's idea, and he did a great job on the head right down to the red spot on the forehead ("That's where I killed him!" Zorg explains with gusto). He also has a sling and a pouch with stones.
Here we have St. Raphael, the archangel (Klenda) and Tobiah (Mxyl) with a really creepy looking fish candy holder.They are from the book of Tobit. If you are protestant and you don't know this fantastic story, it is well worth looking it up in your apocrypha.
Finally we have Daniel (Choclo) and a lion (Oob in his first ever shoe wearing role). Klenda kindly offered to pull double duty as the angel closing the lion's mouth, but after Oob saw the candy, it didn't seem like such a great idea.
If you are thinking the last two are looking aggrieved, well, I did devote a lot more brain power to the costumes for Kids Old Enough to Have Their Own Ideas. Don't worry, they are now in a happy sugar stupor.
