Haman pulling the horse Mordechai was on as a rewarded for saving the king's life while chanting "Thus shall be done to the man whom the king wishes to honor." Afterwards, he grumpily went to attend the party he was invited to by the Queen.
Mordechai and Esther wrote the Megillah, and asked that the Jewish people celebrate the Holiday of Purim each year. This would be to remember the miracles that took place in Persia that year and how Hashem made different events unfold such as Esther becoming Queen so that one day she will be able to help her brothers in need.
The 4 Mitzvos of Purim are to;
1. Hear the megillah.
2. Give presents of food - Mishloach Manos to at least one person.
3. Give Tzedakah / money to at least 2 people.
4. Eat a meal
