'''Purim''' is an annual festival of the Jews in commemoration of the preservation, as recorded in the [[Book of Esther]], of their people from the threatened wholesale massacre of it in [[Persia]] at the instance of [[Haman]], and which was so called because it was by casting "lots" that the day was fixed for the execution of the purpose. It lasts two days, being observed on the 14th and 15th of the month [[Adar]].<ref>{{Nuttall|Purim}}</ref>
