Two of them were caught on the cross that they hung him from to kill him. They said that he died just as dead as any of them do. This Jesus is alive, and alive now, not dead as they thought then. This last voice was hooted down as the other spiders in the crowd reminded the speaker that his great-great ancestor had met his doom under the sandal of one of the disciples examining the empty tomb.

Spiders are indeed curious critters.
They just had to look at the shining silver heart and the rest of the decorations. They had to have a look at the table set for breakfast, with the small gift packages at each place. And they each secretly thought that they would like to catch a glimpse of the Christ Child, if indeed he existed, just in case the story was true. But none would ever admit it to another. Since spiders have such tiny eyes, they had to crawl up on the silver heart ornament and each decoration to get a look at them.
