What is April Fools’ Day?
April Fools’ Day is a day to play practical jokes on others.
What is the history behind April Fools’ Day?
The origin is a mystery, as some of our holidays are. The most credence seems to go to when France changed from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar, word was slow to get around. Therefore, the people that celebrated New Year’s in April because of not knowing or refusing to give in to the new calendar became known as April Fools.
Why is it on April 1?
April 1 is when the old new year used to start. There were lots of celebration, like there is now. But, when the calendar changed, people still celebrated in April, but became known as April Fools.
