What is Easter?

Four intellectually-challenged guys just died and are at the Pearly Gates of Heaven. St. Peter tells them that they can enter the gates if they can answer one simple question.

St. Peter asks the first man, "What is Easter?"

The man replies, "Oh, that's easy, it's the holiday in November when everybody gets together, eats turkey, and celebrates all of the things that we are thankful for right?"

"Wrong!, you are not welcome here, I'm afraid. You must go to the other place!" replies St. Peter. He turns to the second man, and asks him the same question: "What is Easter?"

The second man replies, "That's the day when we get really dressed up in fun costumes and go trick or treating right?"

"Wrong," replies St. Peter, shakes his head in disgust, you too will have to go to the other place. He proceeds to ask the third man the same question, "What is Easter?"

The third man 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 third man, bangs his head on the on the pearly gates in disgust and tells him he's wrong and will have to join his friend in the other place. He is not welcome in Heaven. He then peers over his glasses at the fourth man and asks, "Do you know what Easter is"? The fourth man smiles and looks St. Peter in the eye.

"I know what Easter is. Easter is the Christian holiday that coincides with the Jewish celebration of Passover. Jesus and his disciples were eating at the last supper and He was later deceived and turned over to the Romans by one of his disciples. The Romans took Him to be crucified and stabbed Him in the side, made Him wear a crown of thorns, and hung Him on a cross. He was buried in a nearby cave which was sealed off by a large boulder."

St. Peter sighed because his faith in man was restored, but then he heard the man say... "Every year the boulder is moved aside so that Jesus can come out, and if He sees his shadow we get another three months of winter, right?"
