Purim
Mordechai, Esther's uncle and a highly respected member of the Jewish community, refused to bow to Haman, an Amalekite, who was gaining favor in the King's court. Haman cunningly convinced Ahasuerus to issue an edict that called for the total annihilation of all Jews. In a chain of events, the King learns that Mordechai once saved him from an assassination attempt and chose to honor him. He ironically chooses Haman to lead Mordechai through the streets to pay homage to him which brings utter humiliation upon Haman. Esther 6:11So Haman took the robe and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and led him on horseback through the city square, and proclaimed before him, “Thus it shall be done to the man whom the king desires to honor.”
