Written during the Persian period (5th-4th centuries BC), the book of Esther takes place in Susa, capital of the Persian Empire under the reign of Ahasuerus (Xerxes I). It is one of only two books of the Bible that does not explicitly mention God's name, and yet its central message is the divine providence that acts through ordinary people. This book is the foundation of the Jewish feast of Purim, celebrated to this day as a commemoration of the people's deliverance.
