The reading for Year of the Bible, Day 146, is Esther 6-10: Against great opposition, in ways tragic and comic, Esther rescues her people and reverses their fortunes. The feast of Purim is established to commemorate the event.
Esther and Mordecai writing the first letter of Purim, by Arent de Gelder (1685)
