T     he history of April Fool's Day or All Fool's Day is uncertain, but the

                              current thinking is that it began around 1582 in France with the reform
                              of the calendar under Charles IX. The Gregorian Calendar was intro-
                              duced, and New Year's Day was moved from March 25 - April 1 (new
                              year's week) to January 1.

Send invitations to nonexistent parties and have other practical jokes played upon them. Communi-
cation traveled slowly in those days and some people were only informed of the change several years
later. Still others, who were more rebellious refused to acknowledge the change and continued to
celebrate on the last day of the former celebration, April 1.

These people were labeled "fools" by the general populace, were subject to ridicule and sent on "fool
errands," sent invitations to nonexistent parties and had other practical jokes played upon them. The
butts of these pranks became known as a "poisson d'avril" or "April fish" because a young naive fish
is easily caught. In addition, one common practice was to hook a paper fish on the back of someone
as a joke.

This harassment evolved over time and a custom of prank-playing continue on the first day of April.
This tradition eventually spread elsewhere like to Britain and Scotland in the 18th century and was
introduced to the American colonies by the English and the French. Because of this spread to other
countries, April Fool's Day has taken on an international flavor with each country celebrating the
holiday in its own way.
                    April Fool's Day in Scotland, for instance, is devoted to spoofs involving the buttocks and
                    as such is called Taily Day. The butts of these jokes are known as April 'Gowk', another
                    name for cuckoo bird. The origins of the "Kick Me" sign can be traced back
                    to the Scottish observance.

 In England, jokes are played only in the morning. Fools are called 'gobs' or 'gobby' and the vic-
 tim of a joke is called a 'noodle.' It was considered back luck to play a practical joke on someone
 after noon.



                In Rome, the holiday is known as Festival of Hilaria, celebrating the resurrection of the god
                Attis, is on March 25 and is also referred to as "Roman Laughing Day."



The Huli Festival is celebrated on March 31 in India. People play jokes on one another and
smear colors on one another celebrating the arrival of Spring.



                        In Portugal, April Fool's Day falls on the Sunday and Monday before lent. In this cele-
                        bration, many people throw flour at their friends.

  • 15. T he history of April Fool's Day or All Fool's Day is uncertain, but the current thinking is that it began around 1582 in France with the reform of the calendar under Charles IX. The Gregorian Calendar was intro- duced, and New Year's Day was moved from March 25 - April 1 (new year's week) to January 1. Send invitations to nonexistent parties and have other practical jokes played upon them. Communi- cation traveled slowly in those days and some people were only informed of the change several years later. Still others, who were more rebellious refused to acknowledge the change and continued to celebrate on the last day of the former celebration, April 1. These people were labeled "fools" by the general populace, were subject to ridicule and sent on "fool errands," sent invitations to nonexistent parties and had other practical jokes played upon them. The butts of these pranks became known as a "poisson d'avril" or "April fish" because a young naive fish is easily caught. In addition, one common practice was to hook a paper fish on the back of someone as a joke. This harassment evolved over time and a custom of prank-playing continue on the first day of April. This tradition eventually spread elsewhere like to Britain and Scotland in the 18th century and was introduced to the American colonies by the English and the French. Because of this spread to other countries, April Fool's Day has taken on an international flavor with each country celebrating the holiday in its own way. April Fool's Day in Scotland, for instance, is devoted to spoofs involving the buttocks and as such is called Taily Day. The butts of these jokes are known as April 'Gowk', another name for cuckoo bird. The origins of the "Kick Me" sign can be traced back to the Scottish observance. In England, jokes are played only in the morning. Fools are called 'gobs' or 'gobby' and the vic- tim of a joke is called a 'noodle.' It was considered back luck to play a practical joke on someone after noon. In Rome, the holiday is known as Festival of Hilaria, celebrating the resurrection of the god Attis, is on March 25 and is also referred to as "Roman Laughing Day." The Huli Festival is celebrated on March 31 in India. People play jokes on one another and smear colors on one another celebrating the arrival of Spring. In Portugal, April Fool's Day falls on the Sunday and Monday before lent. In this cele- bration, many people throw flour at their friends.
