April Fools' Day History And Reasons
According to some history researches, the April Fools’ Day originates from four centuries ago in 1582 when the rulers of France started using a Gregorian calendar instead of the Julian calendar. A vast majority of people did not get the idea of calendar switching so they kept on celebrating the start of New Year on 1st April instead of 1st January. This is the most popular theory and many historians think that it is the correct one. It was the 18th century when April Fools’ Day started to gain popularity throughout Britain. In Scotland, the tradition was celebrated for two days. On the first day, people were sent for phony errands as a sign of foolishness. On the second day, practical jokes were to pull on each other to celebrate the day.
