An ultra-Orthodox Jewish girl wearing a bride outfit walks in the street during a school Purim celebration four days ahead of the official holiday on the Jewish calendar in the ultra-Orthodox Jewish neighbourhood of Mea Shearim in Jerusalem on March 8, 2017. The carnival-like Purim holiday is celebrated with parades and costume parties to commemorate the deliverance of the Jewish people from a plot to exterminate them in the ancient Persian empire 2,500 years ago, as recorded in the Biblical Book of Esther.
