In Django Unchained, one of the Brittle brothers was wearing pages of the Bible on his clothes. Did people actually do this? If so, for what reason? And in this case, which pages would he likely be wearing?

I believe that particular Brittle brother was referencing Genesis 9:2 (I think?).

"And the fear of ye and the dread of ye shall be upon every beast of the earth."
