  1. Hamadan Mausoleum of Esther Esther before Ahasuerus; Giovanni Andrea SIRANI; 1630s; Museum of Fine Arts, Budapest

  2. According to the Bible, Esther was a Jewish queen of the Persian king Ahasuerus. While Ahasuerus was traditionally identified with Xerxes I during the time of the Achaemenid empire, many historians now believe that Esther was the queen of Persia during the time of the Sassanid empire. Her story is the basis for the celebration of Purim in Jewish tradition. Conform Bibliei evreica Estera a fostsoţia regelui persan Xerxes I, din perioada Ahemenizilor (Ahashverus). Mulţi istorici cred că ea a fost regina Persiei în vremea Imperiului Sassanid. Povestea ei este baza sărbătorii Purim în tradiţia evreiască.

  3. A building known as Mausoleum of Esther and Mordechaiis located in Hamadan. The present building of this mausoleum, which is visited by Jewish pilgrims from all over the world, has nothing to speak about from the architectural point of view. Under its simple brick dome there are two graves with some Hebrew inscription up on the plaster work of the wall. Two exquisite wooden tomb-boxes are also to be seen, one of which is of an earlier date and bears an inscription in Hebrew La Hamadan există o construcţie cunoscută sub numele de Mausoleul Esterei şi al lui Mordechai. Vizitată de evreii din lumea întreagă, nu are nimic spectaculos din punct de vedere arhitectonic. Sub un dom de cărămidă sunt două sarcofage din lemn preţios sculptate având inscripţii ebraice, precum şi câteva inscripţii de stuc pe pereţi Hamadan

  4. The original structure dates to the 7th Century A. H. (14th Century A.D) and it might have been erected over other and more ancient tombs. The exterior form of this mausoleum, built of brick and stone, resembles Islamic constructions, and the monument consists of an entrance, a vestibule, a sanctuary and a Shah-ni-shin (King's sitting place). Construcţia datează din secolul XIV şi probabil a fost ridicată peste un mormânt mai vechi. Forma exterioară a mausoleului construit din cărămidă şi piatră se aseamănă cu monumentele islamice, iar complexul este format din anticameră, vestibul, sanctuar şi tronul regal

  6. Haman was the most powerful man in the kingdom besides the king. He was an evil man who hated the Jewish people and plotted to have them killed.
