Hay, what’s your prank on today? Don’t try on me hmm…because I know already that, it’s April Fool Day. This is something very casually we ask to our associate on April 01, aren’t we?

Earlier we used to visit to our friends places to give them surprise on April fool day now thanks to digital world we are living into, we are used to share, make, convey various creative, poster, video on this day to celebrate. Important thing is to give surprise to your associate on baseless fun facts but to have a gala time together and that’s all about this day people used to do.

Friends, It is that time of the year again when people gear up to celebrate?April Fools' Day?with their friends, family and close acquaintances. Every year, the day falls on April 1. It is an annual custom in which people prank and play practical jokes on their loved one to create fun memories and have a good laugh. While April Fools' Day is not a real holiday, it is marked with full pomp. People plan their pranks days in advance, all in jest. Although the exact roots of the occasion are uncertain, it's believed to have been observed in the United Kingdom for at least two centuries. Read on to know why the day is marked on April 1, its history, significance, origins and celebrations.

The history behind April Fools' Day is unknown, and there have been multiple hypotheses regarding its origins. However, the most plausible theory links it back to the late 16th century, when Pope Gregory XIII proposed the?implementation of the Gregorian calendar. When the Gregorian calendar came into effect, January 1 became the start of the year. It replaced the practice of starting the year at the end of March according to the Julian calendar. France became the first country to accept and implement the new calendar.

Despite the news being disseminated, some individuals were unaware of the change or refused to follow the new changes. They continued to observe?New Year's Day?on April 1. Thus, people who followed the Gregorian calendar started mocking and ridiculing these people. The general takeaway was that those who refused to follow the new calendar were considered to be fools and made fun of by those who did. Thereby, giving rise to the tradition of April Fools' Day on April 1.

?April Fools' Day is celebrated across all the nations worldwide. However, it's not a bank holiday. While it is one of the days when people get away with almost anything, it is advisable to not go overboard with jokes. April Fools' Day is a time to have fun with your friends by doing pranks that they will enjoy. Additionally, this day infuses positivity into our lives. The occasion also brings friends together as people can get together to create funny moments.

Thank you for sharing the origin of this day. During the childhood this was a totally fun day as we siblings and friends used to play pranks on each other and those who seriously believed those pranks were mocked for next many months. Those innocent carefree days were amazing. Fond memories.
