Blondes Explaining Easter



Three blondes died and found themselves standing
before St. Peter. He told them that before they
could enter the Kingdom, they had to tell him what
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's 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 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 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 Jews
roll away the boulder and Jesus comes out.

If he sees his shadow,
we have six more weeks of hockey."

St. Peter fainted.
