How to celebrate Purim as a Christian thebiblicalnutritionist.com/how-to-celebrate-purim/
Purim is such a joyous celebration. One to share with every generation and celebrate every single year. It’s a biblical holiday based on the fascinating book of Esther. This post has the story of Esther and why we celebrate Purim. Now, we’re ready to dive into how to celebrate Purim as a Christian.
But first, here’s a rundown of what Purim is.
Purim is a Jewish holiday that takes place in February or March each year celebrating the rescue of God’s people from an evil plot to destroy them.
Here are 5 steps to make this a fun joyous celebration. LET’S PARTY!!!!!
1. Plan
Purim is simple to plan. I recommend marking it on your calendar now and set a reminder to start prepping a week ahead of time.
What do you want to do during this week?
- Read the story of Esther to familiarize yourself with the details in the story. (Even if you read it today or tomorrow, read it again. God has an amazing way of bringing out details and truths we miss when we reread His Word.)
- Write out the story as a megillah (scroll of Esther) or print copies of the book of Esther for everyone to read together. (You can tape them together to make a scroll/megillah.)
- Plan a party on the date. Purim falls on the 14th day of the Jewish Month of Adar.
2. Pray for:
- God’s chosen people - the Jewish nation - around the world. Ask God to protect them from lies and evil plots for their destruction, which are still rampant today.
- God to open the eyes of Jewish people to see Jesus (Yeshua) as His Christ (Messiah) and Savior of His people. That the scales would fall off their eyes as they did with Saul of the New Testament. That they would see God’s message contained in the prophecies of the Old Testament.
- Ministries like One for Israel, who are taking the Gospel to the Hebrew Nation, and Israel specifically.
- God’s people - followers of Jesus - to boldly proclaim the Gospel to the Jewish nation as well as every nation, tongue, and tribe across the world.
- Ever-increasing understanding of God’s story as He divinely shared it throughout the Holy Scriptures.
- Your heart to break for what breaks His heart. For eyes to see and opportunities to stand against oppression, injustice, abandonment, and poverty.
- Praise God for His faithfulness, protection, salvation, and power displayed in the book of Esther. For all the times He’s worked in your life, even when you couldn’t or didn’t see His hand.
- Praise God for how He’s working today in your life and around the world.
3. Gather
Gather some fun noise makers. Think “New Year’s Eve” style and yes, even fireworks!
Gather crowns, hats, and costumes. Get creative with things you have around the house.
Children will often enjoy making items, especially if they involve royalty-wear.
4. Decorate
Find your favorite fun decorations. The theme is kings, princesses, queens, royalty, victory!
Again, use what’s around the house (although, of course, a bit of shopping isn’t out of the question).
Get the kids involved. Ask them for ideas. Provide arts and crafts materials so they can help in the preparations and decorations.
5. Make And Give Gifts To Friends And People In Need
Plan this with your kids. Ask them who they want to give gifts to and bless.
If you have trouble deciding who to bless, cast lots to decide. This is how Haman chose the day of the holocaust. Purim means lots. The casting of lots. It is also known as the feast of lots.
