This past weekend we celebrated Purim here in Panama with some friends.
Purim is a fun Jewish Holiday just like Hannukah. It is a celebration based on the book of Esther in the Bible during the time of the Medes and Persians about 500 years before Yeshua (Jesus). (Purim is usually in Feb. or March every year).
We had a wonderful time. We played lots of games; bean bag toss, musical chairs, hit our Haman Pinata, and had a costume contest! There were lots of prizes and yummy food for everyone.
This is a picture of everyone with their cast of characters on spoons for our Purim Readers Theater and play.

Party Favors:)
Our Haman Pinata! Boy, was this a blast! Candy was flying everywhere & he lasted a really long time... everyone got a turn! It was hilarious watching the kids diving for the candy:)
Another picture with the girls in their pretty Queen Esther style Dresses. Each one had their own perception of what a Queen Esther should look like:)
Do you like the rain boots & butterfly wings? She walked around feeling so pretty in her outfit! So cute!

Dinah, it looks like you all had a great time! I like the spoon characters-- did the kids make these?
ReplyDeleteThanks Diane! Yes, they all made one -they picked the character they wanted to be in the play and made their own spoon:)
DeleteSounds interesting and biblical background aside what lil girl wouldn't want to dress like a queen for a day. I enjoy learning about the various religious celebrations
