Significance of All Fools’ Day

The celebration of April Fools’ Day or All Fools’ Day has an interesting origin. While there are various different stories on where the commemoration begins, one intriguing idea is that in the Middle Ages, New Year's Day was celebrated on 25 March in most European towns, with a holiday that, in some areas of France, specifically, ended on 1 April. People, therefore, continued their New Year celebrations on April 1. However, when the New Year commemoration, according to the Gregorian calendar, was moved to January 1, the uninformed who continued to celebrate New Year on April 1 began to be trolled, giving way to the celebration of April Fools’ Day. 'April Fool Banaya' Song With Full Lyrics: This Evergreen Mohammed Rafi Song From Movie April Fool Will Make the 1st of April More Fun With Your Friends.
