April Fool's Day

April 01, 2023 14:00

🐟 Today is April Fool's Day, so be careful! This tradition isn't new... In 1564, Charles IX imposed January 1st as the first day of the year, while previously the new year occurred on different dates depending on the region. The French, used to celebrating the new year with the arrival of spring and to give presents, will continue "for fun", mystifying those who did not integrate the new calendar. New Year's gifts will gradually turn into fake gifts, and then into jokes. The origin of the fish theme, despite a very rich iconography, remains more mysterious 🤔 Some people link it to Easter and the end of the Lenten fast, as fish takes on an important dietary and symbolic role at this time of the year. Others associate it with the opening of the fishing season because on that day, a herring was offered to fishermen to make fun of them. The real fish - more or less fresh, surreptitiously hung on their back, has been replaced by a paper fish to the great relief of sensitive nostrils!
