Mordecai
She Queen Esther saved the Jews, from certain death.
A:The Book of Esther tells us that King Ahasuerus (Xerxes) banished his first wife, Vashti, in the third year of his reign. All the virgins among the Medes and Persians were brought to Ahasuerus to see who pleased him, and Esther was chosen from them as his new queen. She found much favour with the king and was able to forestall a plot against all the Jews in Babylon, then asked Ahasuerus that the Jews be allowed to slaughter all those who had plotted against the Jews. However, biblical scholars say the Book of Esther was a second-century-BCE Jewish novel, and Esther was simply a character in that novel. Queen Amestris is accepted by historians as King Xerxes' only known wife, certainly for the first several years of his reign. They say that there never was a Queen Esther, or any Jewish queen of Persia. So, from a historical point of view there are no facts on Esther.
The story of Purim is that when Queen Esther saved the Jews.
Esther was a Jewish woman who became Queen of the Persian Empire as the wife of Ahasuerus (also known as Xerxes I) When enemeies of the Jews in the Persian court made plans to have the Jews massacred she made it possible for the Jews to defend themselves; risking her own life in the process.
Queen Esther 492 B.C. - 460 B.C.She became queen in 478 B.C.She saved the Jews in Persia in 473 B.C.
Haman was the villain in the book of Esther. His plot was to eliminate all the Jews in the Persian kingdom of Achashverosh. His scheme was foiled by Queen Esther.
Queen Esther went to the king and pleaded for mercy for the Jews, and she admitted she had deceived the king, so the king said the decree could not be changed. Then in a new one the Jews could defend themselves.
Ang kuwento ni Reyna Esther ng Persya ay tungkol sa isang babaing Judio na nagpakita ng tapang at diskarte upang iligtas ang kaniyang mga kababayan mula sa pagkakamkam ni Haman, isang makapangyarihang opisyal. Sa tulong ng kaniyang katalik na si Mordecai, nagawa ni Esther na magpakita ng katapangan sa harap ng hari upang mailigtas ang kaniyang mga kababayan at muling mabigyan ng karangalan ang pagmamahal sa Diyos.
In the Book of Esther, Queen Esther opposed the wicked Haman and ensured the defeat of his plot to annihilate all the Jews in Persia. Jews in the Persian court are portrayed as having the highest moral virtues, courage, honour and loyalty to the king. The Book of Esther was a second-century-BCE novel, but also an excellent work of Propaganda written at a time when the Jews of Judah needed a morale boost. This was the real achievement of Queen Esther.
The festival is called Purim
