Easter
Three blondes died and are at the pearly gates of heaven.
St. Peter tells them that they can enter the gates if they
can answer one simple question.
St. Peter asks the first blonde, "What is Easter?"
The blonde replies, "Oh, that's easy! It's the holiday
in November when everyone gets together, eats turkey, and
are thankful..."
"Wrong!" replies St. Peter, and proceeds to ask
the second blonde the same question, "What is Easter?"
The second blonde replies, "Easter is the holiday
in December when we put up a nice tree, exchange presents,
and celebrate the birth of Jesus."
St. Peter looks at the second blonde, shakes his head in
disgust, tells her she's wrong, and then peers over his
glasses at the third blonde and asks, "What is Easter?"
The third blonde smiles confidently and looks St. Peter
in the eyes, "I know what Easter is."
"Oh?" says St. Peter, incredulously.
"Easter is the Christian holiday that coincides with
the Jewish celebration of Passover. Jesus and his disciples
were eating at the last supper and Jesus was later deceived
and turned over to the Romans by one of his disciples. The
Romans took him to be crucified and he was stabbed in the
side, made to wear a crown of thorns, and was hung on a
cross with nails through his hands. He was buried in a nearby
cave which was sealed off by a large boulder."
St. Peter smiles broadly with delight. The third blonde
continues, "Every year the boulder is moved aside so
that Jesus can come out and, if he sees his shadow, there
will be six more weeks of winter."
Happy Easter!
