April Fools' Day
It is celebrated in many countries around the world.
We don't know the exact origin of this celebration but we believe that it has to do with a change in the calendar.
It is believed that it started in France when Pope Charles IX changed the calendar to go with the Roman calendar. Until 1582 in France the New Year was celebrated on April 1st, so with the change in the calendar the New Year began to be celebrated on January 1st. But some people didn't know about the change and they still celebrated the New Year on April 1st so they began to be called "April Fools".
In Scotland April Fools' Day is called Hunt-the-Gowk Day.
Although customs change from one place to another, April Fools' Day is mainly a day of pranks and jokes.
