Queen Esther was a Jewish woman who was chosen to be the queen to the Persian king Ahasuerus. Ahasuerus was looking for a new queen because his queen had refused to obey him, so Esther was chosen because of her looks. The story didn’t stop there when a man named Haman came along and he was a descendent of King Agag and he had a deep hatred for all Jews. So he asked Ahasuerus if he could wipe out a certain troublemaking race of people which Ahasuerus said yes to and didn’t think much of. When Esther heard about this she was scared and decided to tell Xerxes. Xerxes was considered a god in Persia and no one would ever just go to him. Well when she told him he was furious and ended up executing Haman and his family and also gave the Jews permission to fight back on the up coming day. Thankfully everyone was ok because of Esthers actions and a new feast called Purim was created.
