Happy April Fools' Day 2018! What is the origin behind it. Lets Discuss .
It's April Fools' Day , which means being on your guard to avoid those practical jokes.
It's a tradition that goes back hundreds of years, but where did it all start?
There are many theories but the one that most hold to links back to a pope - though it isn't a religious holiday.
Where did it all start then? Why do we celebrate it?...and what can we do to be crowned best prankster (you know you want to know)?
How did April Fools' Day begin.
While no one really agrees on what happened, there is strong evidence that it is all down to Pope Gregory XIII, who adopted the Gregorian calendar in 1582 - this moved our year from March to Jan 1.
The change was published far and wide, but some didn't get the memo. These people celebrated the New Year on April 1 and were ridiculed and seen as foolish - hence Fool's Day.
The French would put paper fish on the 'fool's' backs and were called Poisson d'Avril, or April Fish - it's still the term used in France for April Fools' Day.
