April Fools' Day Origin *_*
One of the earliest and first recorded instance of April 1 as fool's day was in #GeoffreyChaucer's The #CanterburyTales. According to reports, New Year's Day would be celebrated around April. In 1582, the #GregorianCalendar was introduced by Pope Gregory XIII which made celebrated January 1 as the New Year's Day. However, many refused to accept it and continued to celebrate New Year's Day in April. Others started mocking those refusing to accept January 1 as New Year's Day and would send them on "fool's errands", which is how, the practice of April Fools' day caught on.
Other instances link April Fools' Day to ancient #Romanfestival #Hilaria, where people would dress up in disguises and enjoy the spring.
