April 1 is celebrated as "April Fools Day !"
April Fools’ Day on April 1 is a day where many of us unleash
our most creative sides, all in a hilarious – sometimes over the top – attempt
at bamboozling those around us.
Why
do we do this, and where did it start? Well there surprisingly isn’t a concrete
conclusion by historians. We’ll explore the possibilities below, but
nevertheless, every spring we all put on our pranking caps to plan out the most
devious and diabolical, yet safe and playful pranks we can think of, making
this 24 hours possibly the most fun, exciting, and anxiety-filled day of the
year!
There’s no consensus on how it all began, but a popular
theory is that while nowadays, January 1 is when we start the new year, this
wasn’t the case before 1592. We used a calendar called the Julian calendar –
created by Julius Caesar in 45 BC – which saw every new year begin on April 1!
Crazy, we know.
