A confusion invented April 1st: What you should know about the day of lies

The tradition of this day started in France, when in the 1500s, the calendar was changed from Julian to that Gregorian, making January 1st “the old” become 1 April. However, it is said that there were still people who celebrated the New Year on the old calendar, so on April 1, thinking it was still January 1st. These were called "Bulliffs" and April 1st their day, so- “Buddha Day”.

Later, this date turned into a fun tradition by the British, who in the 1800s began to play each other on April 1st. So seriously were these jokes that even the prestigious institutions, such as the BBC, which in 1957, published an article saying that the <x0nds of pasta crops in Switzerland were getting caught in records while Yufkas were opening in trees. ”

And now, pranks are simply confined to lies “white” (or not so white) that we make each other every April 1. Although we may know that it is April 1, it always seems amazing to forget it, and we fall prey to calamity.

How is it celebrated around the world?

April 1, Scotland, takes two days. On the second day, people are often suddenly hit from behind. In Canada and England, the April 1st lies are allowed to be told by noon. Then the game is over.

In France, children have a tradition of putting a fish paper on each other's backs. In our country, however, the day of lies is played full of 24 hours, perhaps even more, and we certainly try to make the scenario of cheating and deception as reliable and as heavy as possible for “the fraud”.

Is the Day of Lies a Rest?

Of course, it's an official vacation from breakfast.
