Purim
Purim is a joyful celebration of God’s hidden hand in the story of Esther. It commemorates the deliverance of the Jewish people from Haman’s plot in ancient Persia. Through courage, fasting, and faith, Esther andMordechai helped bring about a great reversal. Purim reminds us that even when God seems hidden, He is always at work behind the scenes, turning sorrow into gladness and darkness into light.
