Purim 

Also known as the feast of Esther, is a time of frivolity and "Self-Mockery". We remember the salvation of the Jews from the plot of evil Haman. A party is held in which participants wear consumes relating to the day of Queen Ester. Children are encouraged to participate in the event by drowning out the name of wicked Haman and playing games. The Magillah (scroll of the book of Esther) is read and, similar to Mardi Gras, the spirit is high and even rowdy at times. We eat Hamantashen and fix pictures of evil Haman to the bottom of our shoes. Haman is a type of Hasatan (the devil) for us. We see Messianic believers as a type of queen Esther who even risked her own life to save our Jewish people from the plot of the wicked one.
