"April Fools' Day or All Fools' Day is a day celebrated in many countries on April 1.
The earliest recorded association between April 1 and foolishness can be found in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales (1392).
As April Fools’ is celebrated in different ways throughout the world, it is unknown exactly how the tradition originated. Some cultures saw it as the first day of spring, celebrating with general merriment and feasting, and certain calendars may consider it the first day of the year. One theory for the terming of an April Fool was that some refused to follow these calendars that recognized April 1st as the first day of the year, which resulted in being called an April Fool.
