Not So Common
Persian King Xerxes banishes Queen Vashti after she refuses to come to his drunken party. Xerxes looks for a new wife and Esther becomes queen.
Mordecai and Haman
Evil Haman becomes powerful but is furious when Mordecai doesn't bow. He plots to kill every Jew in a single day. The King ordains it.
Esther's Purpose
Mordecai asks for Esther's help. She can only speak with Xerxes if he summons her, or she dies. Esther prays and enters for her people.
Haman Humiliated
Esther invites Xerxes and Haman to two banquets. Xerxes honors Mordecai and humiliates Haman. Esther exposes Haman's plot to Xerxes, and he executes Haman – victory.
The Jews' Victory
Esther and Mordecai reverse Haman's evil plan. Xerxes' decree is irreversible, but he issues a new one allowing Jews to defend themselves. Purim is established.
