Three blondes went to Heaven
on the same day and showed up at the pearly gates. St. Peter looked them over and said,
"Well, before you can enter the gates you have to answer one simple question, to show
you know something about why you're here."
The first blonde stepped up to the gates, and
St. Peter said, "Now, explain to me, what is Easter?" The woman replied,
"Oh, that's easy. That's the holiday in November, when everybody gets together to
give thanks, and eats turkey, and..."
"Wrong," replied St. Peter,
"You'll have to wait." He turned to the second blonde and said, "What is
Easter?" The second blonde replied, "I know, Easter is about Jesus. In December,
when we put up a nice tree, exchange presents, and celebrate His birthday."
St. Peter shook his head in disgust at the
second woman and sighed. He turned to the third blonde and said, "You look a little
smarter than the other two... Now, WHAT IS EASTER?"
The third blonde smiled and said, "I
know what Easter is. Easter is the Christian holiday that takes place in the spring. Jesus
and his disciples were eating at the last supper, and He was deceived and turned over to
the Romans by one of his disciples. Then the Romans took Him to be crucified and stabbed
Him in the side, made Him wear a crown of thorns, and crucified Him. He died, and was
buried in a cave sealed off by a large boulder." St. Peter smiled and nodded.
The blonde continued, "And 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."
