The queen of transformation, Madonna, dressed as the HBO series’ beloved Mother of Dragons on Sunday.
Madonna, who practices Kabbalah, celebrated Jewish traditions and the upcoming season of “Game of Thrones” all at once on Sunday.
The pop icon dressed as the HBO show’s Mother of Dragons, Daenerys Targaryen, who’s played by Emilia Clarke, to celebrate the Jewish Holiday Purim.
Madonna posted a picture of herself on her Facebook page wearing long wavy white-blond hair and wearing Daenerys’ battle costume with the caption; “Happy Purim!!!!! All Hail All Queens! ##certainty.”
From the Biblical Book of Esther, Purim commemorates the deliverance of the Jewish people in the ancient Persian Empire where a plot had been formed to destroy them. In the story, Mordecai and his cousin and adopted daughter Esther, the Queen of Persia, foiled the plan. Purim is celebrated annually to celebrate the victory.
Although she was raised Catholic, Madonnna converted to Jewish belief system Kabbalah in 1997.
Further connecting her to the Jewish holiday of Purim, the pop singer’s Hebrew name is Esther like the Biblical book the story originated from.
