Scope and content

Photograph of 22 participants of a concert in Luninyets to celebrate Purim in 1913. The members of the photograph are young men and women, with one older adult man seated in the centre of the second row from the front. The participants are looking at the camera, but are not smiling.

The Jewish holiday of Purim surrounds the celebration of the Jews in Persia being saved by Queen Esther from being exterminated by Haman (a prime minister in the Persian Empire) who intended to kill all Jews. The celebration occurs over two days, to commemorate the victory of Jews over Haman. Esther marries King Ahasuerus, who redirects the decree ordering for the extermination of Jews to rather kill Haman, after finding out that his new wife (Queen Esther) is Jewish. The celebration of Purim involves reading the Megillah (meaning 'scroll'), which is the book of Esther. This holiday is extremely festive, and involves celebrations, dressing up, putting on plays, and often dramatizing the story of Purim in a comedic or satirical way.
