April Fool’s Day
The origin of April Fool’s Day is uncertain. The most popular theory is that it began around 1582 in France during the reformation of the calendar. In 16thcentury France, the start of the new year was observed on April First. It was celebrated in the same way as it is today with parties and dancing into the late hours of the night. Then in 1582, Pope Gregory introduced a new calendar, and the new year fell on January 1st. There were some people, however, who hadn’t heard or didn’t believe the change in the date, so they continued to celebrate New Year’s Day on April 1st. Others played tricks on them and called them April fools.
