For those who want to know what happened today, April 1, we made a pass in important events this time. Today is the Sinners Day.

  • April 1 - Fool's Day is a day when different phrases or fools are made. Referrals to unnecessary friends' meetings or similar fares are known in most European countries since the 16th century. Here are the hottest April 1 pranks in history. No one should be afraid of Sinners Day

  • The origin of the feast is placed by some historians in the Middle Ages, when Saint Sisoe, an Egyptian hermit friend of the well-known Anthony the Great, used to trick St. Anthony this time, claiming that he saw the devil lightening in the straw with eating it, or pretending to have succeeded in rising from the dead various victims of an epidemic of plague.
  • Another explanation is related to another saint with a sense of humor, Saint Fesbuchie, who lived near a pond in which he sank a few logs and walked in early April giving the pilgrims the impression that he could walk on water like Jesus.
  • Finally, another explanation shows that in 1564 King Charles IX of France would have moved the New Year's Day celebration on 1 April on January 1st. Since the old New Year (April 1) used to share gifts, continued gifts distribution after 1564, but in the form of innocent jokes and jokes.
