Saint Peter asks, Tell me what the purpose of Easter is

79

“Sorry” Peter says and gestures to the sign with the arrow pointing down.

He asks the next man, “What is Thanksgiving about?”

Guy smiles, “I got this.  Turkey, we eat turkey and then we open all these presents that have been piled up underneath a tree.  It’s celebrating that guy’s birthday.  Give me a minute I’ll think of his name.”

Peter shakes his head and points to the same sign.

Then he looks at the final guy and says, “Tell me what the purpose of Easter is?”

The man wrinkles his brow and closes his eyes, thinking hard.  His face lights up and he explains, “That is when Jesus rolls the stone away from the grave, walks outside and if he sees his shadow there will be six more weeks of winter.”
