Esther 9:20-22

Mordecai  recorded these events and sent letters to all the Jews in all of King Ahasuerus’s provinces, both near and far. He ordered  them to celebrate the fourteenth and fifteenth days of the month of Adar every year because during those days the Jews gained relief from  their enemies. That was the month when their sorrow was turned into rejoicing and their mourning into a holiday.  They were to be days of feasting,  rejoicing, and of sending gifts to one another and to the poor.
