Lucky Draws for April Fools’ Day

April Fools’ Day is widely popular and celebrated across the globe. However, a lot of people may still not know where this unusual day came from? Well, African Grand Casino did some research and here’s what we found about April Fools’ Day.

Historians believe that April Fools’ Day started in 1582 when the French calendar was changed from Julian to Gregorian. This change meant that the new year now started on the 1st of January, contrary to its previous date which was 1st of April. Now, people who were slow to adapt to this change of new year celebration became the butt of jokes and were called “April Fools” or as they were called in French – “Poisson D’Avril” which signifies a young, naive and easily caught fish.

April Fools’ Day has also been linked to the festival held in Ancient Egypt – Hilaria whereby people would dress up and mock fellow citizens in the city. This specific day is also associated with the vernal equinox which is the first day of Spring in the Northern Hemisphere. However, it was only in the 18th Century that April Fools’ Day became popular and started to be celebrated worldwide.
