What is Easter?

• Messages sorted by:[ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ]

One Easter morning, a Sunday School teacher asked 
 her class if they knew the origins of this, special 
 day. 
 
 One young man responded immediately, "It's opening 
 day for the Yankees and Giants". Not wishing to 
 stifle creative thinking, the teacher responded, 
 "What a wonderful answer! 
 
 But I had something else in mind". 
 
 A young girl then stood and remarked, "That's the day 
 we get nice new clothes and go find the eggs from the 
 Easter Bunny. "That's right", said the teacher," But 
 there's something else just a little more important. 
 
 A young man then jumped up and yelled, "I know, I 
 know!!. "After Jesus died on the cross, some of his 
 friends buried him in a tomb they called a sepulcher". 
 
 The teacher thought, "I don't believe it, someone 
 actually knows". The little boy continued, "and three 
 days later Jesus arose and opened the door of the 
 tomb and stepped out". "Yes, yes, said teacher, 
 "Go on, go on! And the youngster said "And if he sees 
 his shadow, we have six more weeks of bad weather".
