| Summary: | It is the year 539 BC and the Persian Empire rules most of the Middle East. When the popular queen of King Xerxes publicly refuses his command to appear, the Persian leaders feel it is best for the king to locate a replacement queen and wife for the king. After a long and thorough search a young woman is selected to be the new Queen, but the king and rulers do not realize that she is Jewish. When a plot of genocide is discovered against the Jews the new Queen Esther lays her life on the line to plead for her people. The Jewish people established an annual feast, the feast of Purim, in memory of Queen Esther and God's divine deliverance from their enemies. |
