ResponderEliminarApril Fools is a very famous day on the Internet, it is like The Innocents Day in Spain, a day where everybody pranks others. It is celebrated on 1st April every year. It all originated when New Year was moved to 1st January. Years ago, New Year was the 25th of March, so as a protest, they celebrated a festive day on 1st April.
ResponderEliminarPersonally, I know this day because every year, everyone on the Internet is joking about everything, some people say they will quit working, some brands announce fake products, there are a lot of fake news, etc. One thing I like about this day is that a lot of companies publish fake updates to their games, and most of them are very funny and very interesting, some of them make clothes to your character, others make events, etc.
Nowadays, I think this will be an important day, we are always talking about problems related to coronavirus and quarantine, so joking a bit won´t be bad and can make some people happy, especially now that we are having such bad days.

This Monday is April 1, it is a day that in many places on the planet should not be taken very seriously.
ResponderEliminarIt is April Fool's Day, whose translation would be 'April Fool's Day', and is mainly celebrated in the United States, Great Britain and Australia, although it has now been extended to other countries such as France, Italy, Ireland, Portugal, Germany, the Netherlands, Brazil or Japan.
What has been April Fool's Day in Spain, which is celebrated on December 28, is a day to have a good time based on jokes and half-truths that are well seen in order to laugh.
There are several theories about why this date to make innocents.
One of the most widespread has to do with the establishment of the Gregorian calendar in 1582. Until that date, the New Year party was celebrated from March 25, with the beginning of spring, until April 1. But the 'new' calendar would end up shifting the celebration to January 1.
There were many who did not know about the change in the date of celebration of the New Year or were staunch traditionalists. Those people were called 'April Fools' and were victims of jokes and ridicule. To ridicule them, non-existent party invitations were sent to them and they were targeted for popular jokes. In addition, the practice of hanging a fish-shaped piece of paper on someone's back was also spread as a synonym for prank.
This custom was maintained for decades in France and, in the 18th century, made the leap to Great Britain and Scotland, which in turn exported it to the American colonies.
Another theory is that this day simply commemorates the change of seasons. Pranks are played to celebrate the arrival of spring and the end of the long, dark winter.
April 1 is the day dedicated to making jokes in some countries of Europe and America in the 16th century. This day is similar to the day of the Holy Innocents in Spain that is celebrated on December 28.
ResponderEliminarLegend suggests that the French and other American colonies were slow to adopt Pope Gregory XIII's calendar and continued to celebrate the New Year from March 25 to April 1. So they called the Americans fools.
This day is famous on the internet and this day they make jokes of all kinds.
