HEBREW overwhelmingly, the 18th OF
February, or the fourteenth day Of the twelfth
month Adar, the Israelites cele' rate the festi
val Of Purim in commemoration OF the deliver
ance of the Jewish nation from destruction In
consequence of the vile plots of Hannah, the
confident OF King Ahasuerus as may be read
in the book of Esther, in the Old Testament. -
1t is not what is strictly called Mosaic feast,
but Rabbinica festival, a kind of half feast
day. From time immemoral it has been cole
brated by the Hebrews by domestic joys at the
table, by sending victuals and gifts to kindred
and friends, by giving aims to the poor, and by
the reading of the book Of Esther at the syna-
gogue, and a special prayer Of thanksgiving,
AL Anissim, in church and at the table. In
later years mutual visits in masks were added
to this prescribed ceremonial OF old.
