APRIL FOOLS' DAY

April Fools' Day is celebrated in different countries around the world on April 1 every year. Sometimes referred to as All Fools' Day, April 1 is not a national holiday, but is widely recognized and celebrated as a day when many people play all kinds of jokes and foolishness. The day is marked by good-humoured or funny jokes, hoaxes, and other practical jokes on friends, family members, teachers, neighbours, work associates, etc.





  


Traditionally, in some countries such as New Zealand, the UK, Cyprus, and South Africa, the jokes only last until noon, and someone who plays a trick after noon is called an "April Fool" . In France, Italy, South Korea, Japan, Russia, The Netherlands, Germany, Brazil, Canada, Ireland, Australia, and the U.S., the jokes last all day.

In Spain and Ibero-America, an equivalent date is December 28, Christian day of celebration of the Massacre of the Innocents. The Christian celebration is a holiday, a religious one, but the tradition of pranks is observed yearly. After somebody plays a joke or a prank on somebody else, the joker usually cries out, in some regions of Ibero-America: "Inocente palomita que te dejaste engañar". In Spain, it is common to say just "Inocente!" . Nevertheless, in the Spanish island of Menorca, "Dia d'enganyar" is celebrated on April 1 because Menorca was a British possession during part of the 18th century.
