The Jewish holiday celebrating Esther's victory — the one where God's name never appears
A Jewish festival celebrating the events of the book of Esther — how Queen Esther and Mordecai saved the Jewish people from Haman's genocide plot. 'Purim' means 'lots' (referring to the lots Haman cast to pick the day of destruction). It's notable that Esther is one of only two Bible books that never mention God by name — yet God's fingerprints are all over the story.
