4. History of April Fool’s Day
While the exact history behind April Fools’ Day is unclear, there is one widely believed theory for how April 1 became an annual day of trickery. The holiday stems from people who refused to adopt the Gregorian calendar in favor of the older Julian calendar when it was established in the 16th century Europe. While most adjusted to the new calendar, which moved the New Year from April 1 to Jan. 1, those who refused to recognize the change were reportedly subjected to pranks and ridicule and were rumored to have been called “April Fools” for observing the holiday months later.
