Purim (Hebrew: פּוּרִים , lit. 'lots') is a Jewish holiday that commemorates the saving of the Jewish people by Queen Esther from annihilation at the hands of an official of the Achaemenid Empire named Haman, as it is recounted in the Book of Esther. Purim is celebrated on 14 Adar (Adar II in Hebrew leap years).

Why does the date move?

Jewish holidays are fixed in the Hebrew calendar, which is lunisolar: months follow the moon, and a leap month is added seven times every nineteen years to stay aligned with the seasons. Because Hebrew years are 353–385 days long, each holiday drifts within a roughly month-wide window of the civil calendar. All Jewish holidays begin at sundown on the evening before the date shown.
