Like chanukah, Purin is a minor festival. It has grown out of the story of Esther, which tells how Haman's attempt to distroy the Jews of Persia was frustrated by the loyalty of Mordicai and the beauty and sacrifice of Esther.

OBS

Fête juive qui, célèbre le 14 du mois d'adar, marque la délivrance des Juifs de l'Empire perse au temps d'Assuérus, telle qu'elle se trouve rapportée dans le Livre d'Esther. La fête tire son nom de ce qu'on a jeté le sort (Pur) devant Aman pour fixer la date de l'extermination des juifs.
