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 was.

The first blonde said, "Easter is a

holiday where they have a big

Feast and we give thanks and eat turkey."

St. Peter said, "Blondes!" and went on to

the second one.

The second blonde said, "Easter is when we

celebrate Jesus' birth and exchange gifts."

St. Peter said, "Wrong!!" and went to the

third blonde.

The third blonde 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 He

died. Then they buried Him

in a tomb behind a very large boulder.

St. Peter said, "Finally! Verrrrry good!"

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 basketball."

Excellent and topical.
