"What Is Easter?"
Three stupid guys just 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 man, "What is Easter?"
The man replies, "Oh, that's easy, it's the holiday in November when
everyone gets together, eats turkey, and is thankful..."
"WRONG," replies St. Peter, and proceeds to ask the second man the
same question, "What is Easter?"
The second man replies, "No, 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 man, shakes his head in disgust, looks at the
third man and repeats, "What is Easter?"
"I know what Easter is. Easter is the Christian holiday that coincides
with the Jewish celebration of Passover. Jesus and his disciples were eating at the last
supper, and he was later deceived and turned over to the Romans by one of his
disciples."
St. Peter smiles approvingly. The
third man continues,
"The Romans took Jesus to be crucified.
He was stabbed in the side, made to wear a crown of thorns, and was hung on
a cross. He was buried in a nearby cave which was sealed off by a large bolder. Every year
the boulder is moved aside so that Jesus can come out, and if he sees his shadow there
will be 6 more weeks of winter."
