Purim is a minor Jewish festival that takes place every year on the 14th of the month of Adar on the Hebrew calendar. It celebrates events that occurred (according to the Book of Esther) in the Persian empire, some time around 475 BCE (plus or minus a decade). The Biblical text does not give enough information for an exact date, but it appears that King Ahasuerus of the Biblical text is the same man as King Xerxes I in the historical record.
