Today it’s April Fool’s Day. Every year, we make jokes to our friends and family, we spend a lot of time wondering how we can trick them, but actually, why do we celebrate this day? There is a few theories why we do so.
First theory derive from France. In 1582 France switched from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian and as a consequence, New Year’s Day was moved from 1st April to 1st January, but certain people continued to celebrate New Year in April.
According to second theory, we celebrate this day, because of the weather. First day of spring is in March, so we expect to have a nice weather in April. Unfortunately, weather trick us and sometimes in April we can see a snow.
Third theory claim that this tradition was introduced by English who played jokes one to another around 1700 and then it became a tradition.
So be careful this day and watch your back!
