Esther, the main character in the story contained in the biblical book of Esther, is a young Jewish maiden who rises to fame, wealth, and glory in ancient Persia during the days of King Ahasuerus (Xerxes). Her beauty sets her apart from other young women in the king's harem, and the king chooses her to be his queen. From this privileged position, Esther has an opportunity to save the Jewish community in Persia from the machinations of the king's evil grand vizier. Her success is celebrated each year in the joyous Jewish festival of Purim.
Noah is a biblical figure who is familiar to nearly everyone. Jews, Christians, and Muslims consider him the hero of the Great Flood, when God destroyed His creation. Because of Noah's righteousness, he and the members of his family were saved from the flood. Thanks to Noah's virtue and trust in the Lord, humans received a second chance. When the waters receded, Noah and his family inherited the entire Earth and all its bounty. The story of Noah provides modern readers with valuable lessons about the importance of faith in God and the requirements of human stewardship over His creation.
