The Sadducees and Pharisees were very deliberate about their ceremonial "costumes". We just don't have photos of them.

The Sadducees and Pharisees were very deliberate about their ceremonial "costumes". We just don't have photos of them. There's a long European tradition of associating Jews with the devil and Judiasm with devil worship, frequently allied with various blood libels. Horns on Jews in Passion Plays are nothing new, I believe Oberammergau kept the tradition up until the 1980s. IMO to think this represents some insight into the dress of the time rather than the millenia long canard of Jews as devil worshippers is naive.
