Confused holiday makers are today seeking clarification from the world’s Christian churches as to what exactly Jesus did on the Monday to warrant the current bank holiday.
“I get Good Friday, sort of,” said one worker enjoying a day off by drinking in a pub garden.
“Though I suppose it was named by Pontius Pilot?”
“I don’t imagine Jesus thought there was anything good about it.”
“But didn’t everyone go back to work on the Monday after seeing Jesus fly into the sky on Sunday?”
“Or maybe they just knew it was going to be a bank holiday in the future?”
Long Weekend
The long weekend has been welcomed by all religions, and even the hypocritical Godless heathens.
“Look, I’m a Cadbury’s share holder, so I think Easter is great. I just wish I understood it better.”
The Reorganised Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter Day Saints has criticised those people taking advantage of the long weekend without giving proper recognition to Jesus.
“The only reason they can go to Ikea today is because Jesus died for their sins.” said Reverend Tobias
“He allows them to assemble flat pack furniture.”
“If Jesus hadn’t made the ultimate sacrifice they wouldn’t be able to enjoy High School Musical 2 on BBC1.”
“They should all go to work if they don’t believe Jesus died for our sins and then magically went up to Heaven on Easter Sunday.”
