An orthodox Jewish girl in fancy dress celebrates the festival of Purim in Stamford Hill, north London, during the Covid-19 lockdown. Purim is one of the most entertaining Jewish holidays. It commemorates the time when the Jewish people living in Persia were saved from massacre by Haman. It is customary to hold carnival-like celebrations on Purim. Stamford Hill in north London has the largest number of ultra-orthodox Charedi Hasidic Jews in Europe. Photo credit: Dinendra Haria/LNP
