The Calendar-Change Theory
The most widespread theory about the origin of April Fools' Day involves the Gregorian calendar reform of the late sixteenth century.
The theory goes like this: In 1582 France became the first country to switch from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar established by the Council of Trent (1563). This switch meant, among other things, that the beginning of the year was moved from the end of March to January 1. Those who failed to keep up with the change, who stubbornly clung to the old calendar system and continued to celebrate the New Year during the week that fell between March 25th (known in England as Lady Day) and April 1st, had various jokes played on them. For instance, pranksters would surreptitiously stick paper fish to their backs. The victims of this prank were given the epithet Poisson d'Avril, or April Fish. Thus, April Fools' Day was born.
This cache is a small container with small trade items. There is a FTF prize. April Fools' Day is "for-fun-only", So have a "geocaching-good-time" - and then go play a joke on someone you know!.
