Ahasuerus Esther Gibbet Hanged Jewish Mordecai Opponent Prepared Revealed Scheming Testament Haman
EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and iconic image depicts the biblical story of Haman, the Persian vizier, being led to his own gallows. In the Book of Esther from the Hebrew Bible and Christian Old Testament, Haman, enraged by the refusal of Mordecai the Jew to bow down before him, plots to destroy the Jews living in the Persian Empire. His plan is foiled when Esther, the Jewish queen and Mordecai's cousin, reveals Haman's treachery to her husband, Emperor Ahasuerus. In a dramatic turn of events, Haman is sentenced to the very fate he had intended for Mordecai, and is led away to be hanged on the gibbet he had prepared for his Jewish opponent. The image, from Mary Evans Picture Library, is a testament to the enduring power of this ancient tale. The aged Haman, dressed in rich robes and turban, is led by two horsemen towards the gallows, his expression a mixture of shock and despair. In the background, the city of Shushan can be seen, with its towering walls and gates. The scene is one of triumph for the Jews, and a reminder of the resilience of the Jewish people in the face of persecution. The image is a powerful reminder of the historical significance of the story of Esther, and the importance of standing up against hatred and intolerance. It is a story that continues to resonate with people of all faiths and backgrounds, and serves as a reminder of the power of courage and determination in the face of adversity.
