City of David | 2000 Year Old Mother-of-Pearl Shell Discovered @cityofdavidsite | Uploaded 2 years ago | Updated 19 hours ago
Ever heard of Purim? This is one of the most joyous holidays in the Jewish tradition - it is a Jewish holiday which commemorates the saving of the Jewish people from Haman, an official of the who was planning to have all of Persia's Jewish subjects killed. The Book of Esther goes over the dramatic tale of the incredible story of Esther and Mordechai saving the Jewish people (usually dated to the 5th century BCE).
We at the City of David have a special find from 2000 years ago - a mother-of-pearl shell (dar) which is also mentioned in the Book of Esther!
Take a look!
