These country dwellers became known as \u201cApril fools.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Boese, who has studied the holiday\u2019s origin, disagrees with that interpretation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[The French] theory is completely wrong, because the day that the French celebrated the beginning of the year legally was Easter day, so it never really was associated with April first,\u201d he said\u2026 <a title=\"http:\/\/news.nationalgeographic.com\/news\/2008\/03\/080328-april-fools.html\" href=\"http:\/\/news.nationalgeographic.com\/news\/2008\/03\/080328-april-fools.html\">http:\/\/news.nationalgeographic.com\/news\/2008\/03\/080328-april-fools.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cApril Fool\u2019s Day. The first mention of this custom is a curt note in Aubrey: \u2018<strong>Fooles holy day<\/strong>. We observe it on ye first of April. And so it is kept in Germany everywhere.\u2019 ( Aubrey, <strong>1686<\/strong>, 1880: 10). It must have reached England from Germany or France in the mid-17th century, and quickly became very popular under the name All Fools\u2019 Day; 18th-century writers call it \u2018universal\u2019.\u201d [English writer John Aubrey ?] <strong> &#8211; Oxford University Press 2000<\/strong> <a title=\"http:\/\/www.encyclopedia.com\/doc\/1O71-AprilFoolsDay.html\" href=\"http:\/\/www.encyclopedia.com\/doc\/1O71-AprilFoolsDay.html\">http:\/\/www.encyclopedia.com\/doc\/1O71-AprilFoolsDay.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are several explanations for the origin of <strong>April Fools\u2019 Day<\/strong>, but here is the most plausible one. April 1st was once New Year\u2019s Day in France. In 1582, Pope Gregory declared the adoption of his Gregorian calendar to replace the Julian calendar and New Year\u2019s Day was officially changed to January 1st. It took awhile for everyone in France to hear the news of this major change and others obstinately refused to accept the new calendar, so a lot of people continued to celebrate New Year\u2019s Day on the first of April \u2013 earning them the name <strong>April fools<\/strong>. The April fools were subjected to ridicule and practical jokes and the tradition was born. The butts of these pranks were first called <em>poisson d\u2019avril<\/em> or <em>April fish<\/em> because a young naive fish is easily caught. A common practice was to hook a paper fish on the back of someone as a joke. This evolved over time and a custom of prank-playing continues on the first day of April.\u201d <strong>&#8211; Dictionary.com by Lexico Publishing Group<\/strong> <a title=\"http:\/\/dictionary.reference.com\/features\/aprilfools.html\" href=\"http:\/\/dictionary.reference.com\/features\/aprilfools.html\">http:\/\/dictionary.reference.com\/features\/aprilfools.html<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So there are a few theories about where \u201cApril Fools\u2019 Day\u201d originated.<\/p>\n<p>But, basically because the Roman calendar was adopted, those who had accepted the more traditional (and biblical) notion that the year began in the Spring were made fun of.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on the year, the first day of the year that God is referring to comes in March or April in modern calendars.<\/p>\n<p>The Bible also refers to the first month of the year with the name Nisan (Nehemiah 2:1; Esther 3:7). The <a href=\"\/passover.htm\">Passover<\/a> and biblical holy days (some of which are also this month, see <a href=\"\/holyday.htm\">Holy Day Calendar<\/a>) are based upon the calendar that begins on Nisan 1.<\/p>\n<p>Historically calling people fools because they did not change the biblical beginning of the year from Spring to January 1st, apparently did not help people realize when the BIBLE teaches that the year is supposed to begin.<\/p>\n<p>However, unlike most others, now you know.<\/p>\n<p>After sunset on March 13th was the first day of the year on God&#8217;s calendar in 2021.<\/p>\n<p>When speaking of the Hebrew month of Abib\/Nisan God declared:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>2 This month shall be your beginning of months; it shall be the first month of the year to you&#8221; (Exodus 12:2).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>But most people do not realize that is what God&#8217;s word taught.
