The children of the house are often engaged in this effort, that they try to make April flowers to the elders of their house in some way. Everyone celebrates this day, but most people do not know the history behind it. If you don’t know why this day is celebrated, here’s why.
There are many stories about the history of April Fools’ Day. If the first story is to be believed, many historians believe that the history of April Fool’s Day dates back to 1582 when France abandoned the Julian calendar and adopted the Gregorian calendar.
At that time, where the new year started from April 1 in the Julian calendar, it shifted to January 1 in the Gregorian calendar. A lot of people don’t understand these changes. In such a situation, those who used to celebrate the New Year on April 1 according to the Julian calendar, people started calling them flowers i.e. Babekoof and started making fun of them. That’s why they were called April Fools and this day began.
