April Fools: A Day of Pranks and Jokes

April 1st is recognized worldwide as April Fools' Day, a day when people engage in pranks and practical jokes. This tradition dates back to the 16th century when France switched from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar. However, not everyone was aware of this change, and those who continued to celebrate the New Year in April were considered fools. Since then, the day has been marked as a time to play lighthearted jokes on others.
