Do you know that there are those fellows who wait for this day like it is their job? Just to fool you on April Fools Day, which is normally celebrated on 1st April every year.
It all started in the year 1582, when King Carlos decided to change the calendar.
Then the New Year’s party was held from March 25 (until the beginning of spring) until April 1.
But the Gregorian calendar shifted the celebration to 1 January. It was many who took several years to change the change and those who simply maintained a conservative attitude and continued to celebrate on April 1, unleashing with the ridicule of their countrymen.
To ridicule them, they began to send invitations to nonexistent parties and jokes about them became popular. A common practice was to hang a piece of fish-shaped paper on someone’s back as a joke.
The habit of making jokes on this “Day of the Innocents,” called Day of the Innocents, lasted for decades in France and, in the eighteenth century, to Britain and Scotland, which is once again transmitted to the American colonies.
Currently it is celebrated in United Kingdom, United States, Scotland, Portugal … In France and in Italy it is called “Pez de Abril”. And in Brazil it is the day of the lie.
Kenya celebrate it because it is one of their colonies.
Examples of pranks.
A girl would phone her boyfriend claiming that she is pregnant. Or a Boy call his lover claiming that he has ended the relationship
