1 st April, April fool day. Finally, the date came when we could make fun of someone without any shame. This day has been celebrated by many centuries in many countries and in a different culture. However, from where did it come, it is still a mystery. It says that April flower day started in Europe but today it is spread in the whole world.

However, the historian could still not find the exact roots of the April flower day. But a famous statement about the date is that this day is celebrated as a changing date in the Gregorian calendar from Julian.

In the year 1582 Pope Gregory XIII started new calendar from January 1 At the end of March, there was a change in the date of celebration of the new year's celebration. This date of calendar was first adopted in France. However, many people living in Europe had adopted the Julian calendar. For the replacement of those who adopted the new calendar, they began to call the people as a fool-Stupid, as they were running according to the old calendar.

This famous statement for April fool day does not describe the truth as the people of Europe had taken to the Gregorian calendar. The evidence is that England did not accept the Gregorian calendar till 1752, and the April flower concept was well known there.

A different idea about April fool is that the change of the weather is celebrated as a joy and celebration in many countries. Like the festival of holi in India, naturally many natural colours are scattered in the atmosphere, the people of India celebrate the festival of holi in different states like new enthusiasm. Just like that in ancient Rome, the 'Hilariya' Festival was used to celebrate. According to the concepts, God opens his eyes during this time, because of which the weather is beautiful.
