Subject: Easter Joke
|
|
|
|
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 are 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 asks, "WHAT IS EASTER?"
|
|
|
|
The third man smiles and looks St. Pete in the eye.
|
|
|
|
"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 was later deceived and turned over to the Romans by one
|
|
of his disciples. The Romans took him to be crucified and 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 boulder. 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."
