When is Purim in 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017?

The holiday of Purim falls on the Hebrew calendar date of Adar 14. Here are the coinciding secular dates for the upcoming years:

2014: March 15-16

2015: March 4-5

2016: March 23-24

2017: March 9&12

Note: The Jewish calendar date begins at sundown of the night beforehand. Thus holiday observances begin at sunset of the first secular date listed (with the Purim Night Megillah reading taking place that evening), and the holiday concludes at nightfall the following day.

For such a time as this

Praise God for Esther, and her courage saved the Jewish people from that wicked Haman. God can use anyone to do his will and see that the Messiah would come as promised. Satan has been trying to hinder the plan of God, but through his providence God had this great woman of God in the kingdom for such a time as this. May we be like her today, and see that Israel is saved from all of their enemies.

Esther

Let us not forget that since the time of Esther, the Persians have been trying to kill the Jews. And what do we call the Persians today... the Iranians. May G-d preserve us all.

Jewish feasts and festivals

I am a Christian but I find that celebrating the Jewish festivals really enriches my own faith. Well done Israel, and shalom
