Purim (Jewish holidays, religious holidays, ... Events (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Jewish holiday commemorating the deliverance of the Jews in the 5th century BCE by Mordecai and Esther from a plot to have them massacred. The plot was the work of Haman, the chief minister of the Persian King Ahasuerus. The story is recorded in the Old Testament book of Esther. Its name derives from the lots cast to determine in what month the killing would take place. It is celebrated on 14 Adar (about March 1). The holiday was well established by the 2nd century CE. The day preceding Purim, Ta'anit Esther (Fast of Esther), is a day of fasting. On Purim the 'Scroll of Esther' is read in the synagogue. A festive and carnival atmosphere includes the customs of dressing up, exchanging gifts, and making donations to the poor. Three-cornered pastries called hamantaschen ("Haman's ears") are baked and Purim plays, which became popular in the 17th century, are performed on this holiday.

| Dutch ..... Vrolijke joodse feestdag ter herdenking van de bevrijding van de joden in de 5e eeuw v. Chr. door Mordechai en Ester van een samenzwering om hen uit te roeien. Deze samenzwering was het werk van Haman, hoofd van de hofhouding van de Perzische koning Ahasveros. Het verhaal is opgetekend in het oudtestamentische boek Ester. De naam is afgeleid van de loten waarmee werd bepaald in welke maand de massamoord zou plaatsvinden. Het feest wordt gevierd op 14 adar (rond 1 maart). In de 2e eeuw n. Chr. was het feest al wijdverbreid. De dag voor Poerim, Ta'anit Esther (het vasten van Ester), is een vastendag. Op Poerim wordt de boekrol van Esther in de synagoge gelezen. In een feestelijke en carnavaleske atmosfeer worden verkleedpartijen gehouden, geschenken uitgewisseld en donaties aan de armen gedaan. Op deze feestdag worden driehoekige koekjes genaamd harmantaschen ('Hamansoren') gebakken en Poerim-toneelstukken opgevoerd, die in de 17e eeuw in zwang kwamen. |
