Spike: Hey, Twilight! What are you reading about

now?

Twilight: It’s a story about somepony really

important. Somepony who loves us very much.

Spike: Cool!

Twilight: Here! The story starts with a picture.

3

Spike: Woah! Who is that? I’ve never seen HER

around Ponyville!

Twilight: Her name is Fern. she lived a long

time ago. She wrote this story down for us to

read.

Spike: That’s Awesome!

4

Twilight: Sure is, Spike, and here is what she

wrote...

Fern: A Colt came into town today In a big

parade! It was amazing! Everypony lifted up

Palm branches and shouted

“Hosanna in the highest! Blessed is the one who

comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the

highest!”

5

this colt helped everypony who needed it!

Blind ponies could see, lame ponies were healed!

He was amazing.

So, we joined the parade and celebrated his

arrival. Ponies call it Palm Sunday. It was a

great day.

Pinkie: A

Parade?!! Why

wasn’t I

invited?!

Twilight: this

was a long time

ago, Pinkie. And

the story keeps

going.

Pinkie: I LOVE a

good story!

6

Twilight: Well, later that night this colt

gathered with his closest friends for a meal

together.

They sat and talked and talked and enjoyed

being together.

Pinkie: OH! Just like we do!

Twilight: That’s right Pinkie. But the story

seems to be changing a bit. . .

7

Spike: What do you mean, Twilight?

Twilight: Well, it seems that there were some

ponies who didn’t like what this colt was doing.

They wanted to stop him.

one of his friends

betrayed him to

the guards!

Rainbow: What?!

Why would a friend

ever do that?

Twilight: Oh, hey,

Rainbow Dash. We

were just learning

about a colt from a

long time ago.

8

Twilight: It says here that The ponies gathered

Thursday night for bread and wine for dinner.

After dinner they went on a walk to a garden

together.

9

Twilight: Suddenly, the pony who had betrayed

them brought a bunch of guards and they

arrested the colt! How sad!

Pinkie: I would be sad if a friend betrayed me!

Rainbow: Don’t worry,

Pinkie, that won’t

happen with me

around!

Twilight: Well, it

did happen to him!

They put him on

trial and everything!

Spike: Wow. That

sounds scary.

10

Twilight: It sure does, Spike. It says here that

there were even people who made fun of him

during the trial.

Fluttershy: That doesn’t sound very nice.

Apple Jack: Not very nice at all, Sugar Cube!

11

Twilight: You’re right, the story doesn’t look

nice at all right now.

In fact, It looks like the colt died. It says that

he was more powerful than even Starswirl the

bearded, but he wouldn’t use his powers against

ponies that he loved.

Instead he let himself die to show just how

much he loved everyone.

12

Fluttershy: Oh my!

Rainbow Dash: What?

Spike: No way?!

Pinkie: Nooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!! Why would they do

that?

Why, why, why?!

13

Twilight: I don’t know, Pinkie. It just doesn’t

make any sense at all. . .

It says here that they put him on a cross and

he died.

The whole world went dark and his mother and

close friends stayed nearby and cried. They took

him down from the cross and a few of his friends

buried him in a tomb.

14

They call the day Good Friday now. “Good” being

an old word for “God.”

Someponies wear black on that day every year

and remember what he gave up because he loved

us.

15

Rainbow: Pretty lousy ending, if you ask me. At

least Daring Do survives her adventures!

Pinkie: Hey! It looks like there’s more to the

story!

Shutterfly: Pinkie is right, look, there’s a

picture of A Princess named Sprinkles!

16

Twilight: You’re right, Pinkie!

Rarity: And just

look at her

couture! It’s simply

darling!

Twilight: the

story says that

ponies gathered

together after the

colt died and told

each other stories

from his life.

They remembered that he wanted them to tell

each other that they were always loved, no

matter what. They used water to Baptize each

other as a way to remember that story.

They kept a vigil together and remembered.

17

After three days the ponies came back to the

tomb where they buried him, But the tomb was

empty! The colt wasn’t there!

They saw an Angelpony who told them that the

colt was not there. he had risen and was alive

again!

Everypony rejoiced! See—there is a happy

ending!

18

Spike: So, what was this pony’s

name, anyway?

Pinkie Pie: Why it was Jesus, of course! The

GREATEST PONY EVER!!
