It is celebrated to remember and commemorate the defeat of an evil person who called for the annihilation of the Jewish race in Persia in the year 5 B.C.E.
The name of the person who made the decree was HAMAN.
Coincidently, today thousands of years later, the Jews seem to be facing another group that wants to destroy the State of Israel and the Jewish race. This group is called HAMAS.
