'Our Esthers'

Esther was a young girl who was from a nation that was suffered inequality and persecution. Circumstances led to her being made queen of a nation. She was then able to influence her own people’s situation and save them from destruction. A banquet was held in her honour and she has been remembered for thousands of years. ‘For such a time as this’ is a term used to express that

Esther was made queen at a crucial time for the saving of her own people.
