April 1 is known around the world as April Fools' Day. Since time immemorial, this day has been associated with many fascinating stories and events. The day exemplifies human nature's witty side.

What was the origin of April Fools' Day?

Some scholars say it started in the 1500s when the Julian calendar (with the new year beginning around the March equinox) was replaced by the Gregorian calendar (with the new year beginning on January 1st).
