Three blondes died and found themselves standing before Saint Peter at the gates to heaven. St. Peter said to them, “Before you may enter the gates of heaven you have to tell me what Easter is.”

The first blonde said, “Easter is a holiday where we all have a big feast and we’re thankful.”

St. Peter said, “NO!” and banished her from heaven.

The second blonde said, “Easter is a holiday where we celebrate Jesus’ birth and give each other presents.”

St. Peter said, “NO!” and banished her from heaven.

The third blonde said, “I know what Easter is.”

St. Peter said, “Ok then, tell me.”

She starts, “Easter is Christian holiday that coincides with the Jewish festival of Passover. Jesus was having Passover feast with his disciples when he was betrayed by Judas, and the Romans arrested him. The Romans hung him on the cross where he died. Then they buried him in a tomb behind a large boulder.”

St. Peter said, “Very good…”

She adds, “Every year the Jews roll away the boulder and Jesus comes out. If he sees his shadow we have six more weeks of winter.”
