Ever wonder just why we celebrate April Fool’s Day? Truth is we really don't know where the annual tradition of playing pranks came from. There are a few theories floating around though. Here is one to consider. When the western world used the Julian calendar, the New Year began March 25th with the start of spring. Since that fell in Holy Week, it was celebrated on April 1st. However when the Gregorian calendar was introduced in the 1500s, the New Year moved to January 1. According to the most widely accepted theory, those who continued to celebrate the New Year April 1 were called April fools. What do you suppose you will be this year on April Fool’s Day – the trickster or the trickee? Page 9 Kinmount Gazette
