April Fool’s Day, also known as Prima Aprilis, is a day when people all over the world joke and play pranks on each other. It is a tradition that dates back to ancient times.
There is no one specific story that explains the origin of April Fool’s Day. One theory is that the tradition comes from Rome, where April 1st was celebrated as Hilaria, or simply “jokes”. Another theory is that April Fool’s Day is related to the beginning of the year in the Julian calendar, which was used in many countries until the 16th century. In this calendar, New Year’s Day began on April 1st, not January 1st as it does now.
Over the centuries, the tradition of April Fool’s Day has spread throughout the world and become popular in many countries.
