Three blondes died and found themselves standing before St. Peter. He
told them that before they could enter the Kingdom, they had to tell
himwhat Easter represented.
The first blonde, an American, said "Easter is a holiday where they
have a big feast and we give thanks and eat turkey."
St. Peter said, "Noooooo," and wouldn't let her in.
The second blonde, a Brit, said "Easter is when we celebrate Jesus'
birth and exchange gifts."
St. Peter said, "Noooooo," and he wouldn't let her in either.
The third blonde, a Canadian, said she knew what Easter was, and
St.Peter said, "So, tell me." She said, "Easter is a Christian holiday
thatcoincides with the Jewish festival of Passover. Jesus was having
Passover feast with His disciples when He was betrayed by Judas, and
theRomans arrested Him. The Romans hung Him on the cross and eventually
He died. Then they buried Him in a tomb behind a very large boulder. "
St. Peter said, "Verrrrrry good."
Then the blonde continued, "Now, every year the Jewish people roll away
theboulder and Jesus comes out. If he sees his shadow, we have six
moreweeks of hockey."
