Original

Although popular since the 19th century, the day is not a public holiday in any countries.

What started the celebration of April Fools Day is unknown. Most popular theories had begun around 1582 in France during the reformation of the calendar. Before France adopted the Gregorian calendar, they celebrated the New Years for eight days, beginning on March 25th, and ending on April 1st. When they switch calendar system, the eighth day moved from April 1 to January 1.

A lot of people didn't hear about this change until years late since that people didn't have internet, phones, social media or a mail system then. Those who did not hear about the change continued to celebrate the New Year on April 1. But those who had been informed of the change and adjusted their calendars refused to celebrate out of rebellion. They began to make fun of these fools who were uninformed. This act evolved into a tradition of playing pranks on the first day of April just for laughter, and then spread to other countries enjoying wide popularity.
