April Fool’s Day History And Origin

Although the exact roots of the occasion are uncertain, it is believed that April Fool’s Day started being celebrated in 1952, when Pope Gregory XIII introduced the Gregorian calendar and changed the beginning of the New Year from March end to 1 January. However, on April 1 — when the change of calendar from Julian to Gregorian was initiated — many people refused to accept the change and continued following the Julian calendar. Others who accepted the change started celebrating April 1 as April Fool’s Day. France was the first country to accept and implement the new calendar.
