Purim 2013: Photos from Holiday Celebrations
A collection of reports by BaltimoreJewishLife.com from the holiday in the Pikesville area.
During Purim, Jews celebrate overcoming the threat of being massacred by defeating the anti-Semite Haman and his followers.
Purim which means "lots," is celebrated Mardi Gras-style, with adults and children dressing up in costumes, often of characters from the story Megillat Esther.
