Do you know about the Feast of Purim?
Well You Should! It's Your History!

King Ahasuerus had a competition of women to replace his previous wife because she was very rebellious towards him. Mordechai told his cousin Hadasah/Esther to enter the competition but asked her not to reveal her race. She won the heart of the King and later Ahasuerus, the King of Persia was persuaded by his minister, Haman of Macedonia (Greeks) to destroy all the Jews in his kingdom which stretched from India to Ethiopia.
This day of destroying the Jews was chosen by Pur meaning lots cast by Haman hence the feast is called Purim.

The full story can be read in the book of Esther in the Old testament and the Apocrypha!

HAPPY PURIM!!
