Joy: Jews, Over the Hanging of Haman

Mordecai went out from the presence of the king in royal garments of blue and white, with a large gold crown and a purple robe of fine linen. And the city of Susa shouted and rejoiced.

For the Jews it was a time of light and gladness, of joy and honor.

So they hanged Haman on the gallows he had prepared for Mordecai. Then the fury of the king subsided.
