Esther’s fasting was not commanded by God, though it seems that her fasting met with his approval. Today, the Jewish Festival of Purim is traditionally preceded by the Fast of Esther.
Постот на Естира, непосредно пред празникот Пурим, не бил по заповед на Бог, иако е очигледно дека тој го одобрил нејзиното постење.
