Do you know the origin of April Fool´s Day? The origin of this holiday is rather
uncertain but most people believe that it was the result of a change in our calendar.
April Fool´s Day started in the sixteenth century in Europe. Before that time, New Year
´s Day was celebrated on April 1st but with the introduction of the Gregorian calendar
the date for the New Year was moved from April 1st to January 1st. During that time
in history there were no good communication systems such as TV, radio, the
Internet...so many people did not know of the change for several years and they
continued to celebrate New Year´s Day in April.These people were considered “fools”
and jokes were played on them. Nowadays, people play jokes on each other and
newspapers and other media may publish false news or photos on April 1st. It is
celebrated in many parts of the world. In Scotland, April Fool´s Day lasts 48 hours and
the victim is called “hunting the gowk” which is an extinct cuckoo bird. In France, it is
the "poisson d'Avril" or "fish of April." as the fish in April are easily caught. French
children enjoy tapping a picture of a fish on their friends' back and saying "Poisson
d'Avril!". Día de los Santos Inocentes is celebrated in Spain on December 28th. This is
The Feast of the Holy Innocents. It's celebrated similarly to April Fools' Day with
practical jokes as in the United States and Great Britain.The only "rule" is that no one
should be harmed. The best jokes are when everybody including the victim laughs.
