Meaning of Easter

Three men are at the Pearly Gates.

St. Peter says to the first one, "You can enter Heaven if you can tell me the real meaning of Easter." The man responds, "That's when Santa brings toys to all the good girls and boys." St. Peter responds, "No, that's not even the right holiday. You can't get into Heaven." St. Peter turns to the second man and asks the same question. The man responds, "That's when the Easter Bunny gives painted eggs to the kids." St. Peter responds, "That has nothing to do with the true meaning of Easter. You can't get into Heaven." St. Peter is exasperated. He turns to the third man and pleads, "Can YOU PLEASE tell me the real meaning of Easter?!" The man responds, "Of course! That's when our Lord, Jesus Christ, who died for our sins, arose from the dead." St. Peter is ecstatic, "Finally, a man who knows the true meaning of Easter." But then the man continues, "...and if he sees his shadow, there's six more weeks of winter."
