ZAGREB, March 11 (Hina) - The cultural centre and gallery "Shalom"
of the Croatian-Jewish Society (HID) marked the beginning of the
Jewish holiday of Purim in Zagreb on Wednesday night.
According to the Jewish calendar, Purim is celebrated on the 14th
day of Adar and it commemorates the deliverance of the Jews by
Esther, wife of the Persian king Ahasver, and her cousin Mordecai.
Purim is the only merry Jewish holiday and is based on the biblical
story of the beautiful queen Esther, who saved her people from
death, HID President Mihael Montiljo said in an introductory
speech.
Tonight's event started with a concert by the mixed choir "Lira".
