A Brief History of April Fool's Day
While the origins are murky, one popular theory links April Fool's Day to the shift from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar in 1582.

The tradition of pranks evolved over time, influenced by similar celebratory days in ancient Rome (Hilaria) and Scotland (Taily Day, known for its backside-themed jokes!).
