"Ironic, tommorrow's first reading at daily mass is going to be a reading from the book of Esther."

Not really. The Roman Catholic (and Anglican and Orthodox) church calendars are (very) loosely based on the Jewish year, each in some form or fashion.

The Fast of Esther is tomorrow --- 11 Adar, 5767 (Thu 3/1/2007) and Purim is 14 Adar, 5767 (Sun 3/4/2007).

Lots of hung over Jews monday.

Thanks for the response back. The passage in question is Esther C: 12, 14-16, 23-25. From my Bible, a RC one, it is called the prayer of Esther.

Also during the Christian Lent, different readings of the Jewish scriptures are read in regards to what in my church is called salvation history or the people who are a part of.
