Joke

Three blonde friends die together in a car wreck. They find themselves standing in front of the pearly gates with St. Peter. He warns them that before they can enter heaven, they have to tell him what Easter is about.

The first blonde says, "Easter is a holiday where we give thanks, have a big feast and eat turkey."

"Nooooo," groans St. Peter. "You don't get in."

The second blonde says, "Easter is the holiday where we decorate a tree with pretty ornaments and give each other presents."

"Nooooo," groans St. Peter. "You don't get in, either."

The third blonde says, "Well, I know what Easter is all about. Easter is a Christian holiday which coincides with the Jewish Passover. After Jesus celebrated Passover with his disciples, he was betrayed by Judas and turned over to the Romans. They crucified him on a cross. After he died, they buried him in a tomb and put a huge boulder in front of it."

"Very good!" says St. Peter.

But the blonde continues. "Now, every year, the Jews roll the stone away and Jesus comes out. If he sees his shadow, we have 6 more weeks of winter."
