The story of Purim is found in the biblical book of Esther. It contains the firsthand account of the events surrounding the fear, faith, and triumph of Esther and Mordechai.
The most important Purim custom is reading the Purim story from the scroll of Esther, also called the Megillah.

Happy Purim !
