The holy book of this holiday includes the conspiracy of Bigtan and Teresh, and it involves the exchanging of food baskets known as mishloach manot. Its story involves a 180-day feast in which Vashti refused to dance for guests; that reading of that story on the 14th of Adar requires saying the name of ten sons in one breath and using noisemakers called groggers to blot out the villain's name. That villain, Haman, despises Mordecai and is foiled by Esther in trying to kill Persia's Jews. For 10 points, name this Jewish spring holiday involving costumes and masks.
