April Fools' Day, one of the most light-hearted days of the year, has an unclear origin. Some see
it as a celebration related to the turn of the seasons from winter to spring; others, however, believe that
it 11 the adoption of a new calendar.
Ancient cultures celebrated New Year's Day on or around April 1, which roughly coincides with
the beginning of spring. In 1582, Pope Gregory XIII ordered a new calendar, which called for New Year's
Day to be celebrated on January 1. However, many people, either refusing to accept the new date or not
having heard about it,
to celebrate New Year's Day on April 1. Other people began to make fun
of these traditionalists, sending them on "fool's errands" or trying to fool them into believing something
false. 13, the practice spread throughout Europe and the rest of the world.

what? A great number of viewers were fooled.
