, Item # M067.

Ancient Bible

Highly Important and Very Impressive Esther Megilla

Megilla Esther, "The Scroll of Esther," is a firsthand account of the events of Purim, written by the heroes themselves--Esther and Mordechai.

The Megillah is read twice in the course of the festival: on the eve of Purim and during Purim day. It is read in the original Hebrew from a parchment scroll.

The book of Esther recounts the deliverance of the Jews from persecution in the Persian Empire. This deliverance was accomplished almost exclusively by Esther's efforts to places and situations through no desire of her own.

A noticeable issue in the book of Esther is that the name of God is never used.

The book of Esther is traditionally given by a proud father to his daughter as she approaches her wedding date.
