There is a story told of an individual who appeared at the Pearly Gates and asked Saint Peter for entrance. Saint Peter said, "All right, tell me, what is Easter?" The individual replied, "Oh, that's the day that some fellow discovered America, isn't it?" "No, that's wrong, and you'll have to go below," said Peter. Another man came along, asking to enter heaven. Saint Peter asked him, "What's Easter?" This man replied, "Oh, that's the day the big, fat jolly man with a big bag of toys comes around." "No, you're wrong," said Peter. "You can't come inside." Then a third man came and he almost made it. He wanted to get into heaven also, and when Peter asked him, "What's Easter?" he said, "Easter? Isn't that the story about the man who died, was buried, and on the third day came alive, rolled the stone from his grave, looked out and saw his shadow, then went back inside for six more weeks of winter?" -- Frank
