Purim, the Jewish Festival of Lots, celebrates the freedom of Jews from persecution in Persia. The holiday falls during the Hebrew month of Adar, which on the Gregorian calendar is typically in late February or early March. This year it is in March, starting at sundown on March 6 and ending at sundown the following day. The story of Purim follows an intelligent Jewish woman named Esther, who was married to Persia’s king, Achashverosh.
