> Three blondes died in a car crash trying to jump the Grand
> Canyon and are at the pearly gates of heaven. St Peter tells
> them that they can enter the gates only if they can answer
> one simple religious question.
>
> The question posed by St. Peter is "What is Easter"?
>
> The first blonde replies, "Oh, that's easy! It's the holiday
> in November when everyone gets together, eats turkey and are
> thankful..."
>
> "Wrong!, you are not welcome here, I'm afraid. You must go
> to the other place!" replies St. Peter. He turns to the
> second blond, and asks her the same question: "What is
> Easter?"
>
> The second blonde replies, "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 blonde, bangs his head on the
> on the pearly gates in disgust and tells her she's wrong
> and will have to join her friend in the other place. She is
> not welcome in Heaven. He then peers over his glasses at the
> third blonde and asks, "Do YOU know what Easter is"?
>
> The third blonde smiles confidently and looks St Peter in
> the eyes, "I know what Easter is."
>
> "Oh?" says St Peter, incredulously.
>
> "Easter is the Christian holiday that coincides with the
> Jewish celebration of Passover. Jesus and his disciples were
> eating at the last supper and Jesus was later deceived and
> turned over to the Romans by one of his disciples. The
> Romans took him to be crucified and he was stabbed in the
> side, made to wear a crown of thorns, and was hung on a
> cross with nails through his hands and feet. He was buried
> in a nearby cave which was sealed off by a large boulder."
>
> St Peter smiled broadly with delight.
>
> The third blonde continued... "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."
