A Jewish holiday. It is celebrated on the 14th and 15th of the Jewish month of Adar (February to March in the solar calendar). On this day, Jews gather in synagogues and listen to the reading of the Book of Esther from the Old Testament, cursing the Persian official Haman, who tried to destroy the Jews, and praising Queen Esther and her foster father Mordecai, who saved the Jews from Haman's evil schemes. The name of the holiday, Purim, comes from the fact that the lot that Haman cast was called Pur in Akkadian. [Ishida Tomoo] Source: Heibonsha World Encyclopedia, 2nd Edition Information |
ユダヤ教の祭日。ユダヤ暦のアダル月(太陽暦の2月から3月)14日と15日に祝う。この日,ユダヤ教徒はシナゴーグに集まり,旧約聖書の《エステル記》の朗読を聞きながら,ユダヤ人を滅ぼそうとしたペルシアの高官ハマンを呪い,ハマンの悪計からユダヤ人を救った王妃エステルとその養父モルデカイをたたえる。祭日の名称プリムは,ハマンが投げたくじが,アッカド語でプルと呼ばれたことによる。【石田 友雄】
