Three friends were killed and all went before St. Peter at the Pearly Gates. St. Pete says to the trio , "You all led a life of sin and drunkeness , but since it's that time of the year , I'll let you into Heaven if you can tell me the true meaning of Easter.
First guy says , " Easter , yeah , that's when ya get the tree and lights and presents and such!"
St. Pete - "Nope!"
Second man - " OK , that's when ya have the turkey and the family comes over!"
St. Pete - "WRONG!"
Third guy - "Well that's when Jesus rose from the dead!"
St. Pete , "Bingo , tell these two the story!"
No.3 , "Well , on Good Friday , they crucified Jesus. They took him down off the cross , and put him in a grave. On Easter Sunday morning , he comes out of the grave , , , and if he sees his shadow , there's 6 more weeks of winter!"
