In ancient Russia in the first days of April, they burned an effigy of winter. Rusichi dressed up in animal skins, in every possible way to play the fool and joker showing winter, that she was not afraid. To run her confused, usually dressed up fools, twisting clothes inside out, making the collar of urine and straw.

Naturally, dress up fools themselves are not considered. Hence, our classic hero Ivan the fool, who is proving to be smarter than everyone else. Some attribute the feast of laughter foreign, European origin.

Previously, in many countries women believe that it is necessary 1 April fool as many guys. Then God Laughter helps a good marriage.

More specifically, the emergence of this festival is associated with the introduction in 1582 of the Gregorian calendar in France. Pope Gregory XIII made it up, and King Charles IX introduced. They began to celebrate the New Year on January 1 and not on 1 April.

But the subjects of his Majesty did not immediately accept change. Many of the old-fashioned long kept sending New Year greetings to each other in the spring. To stop this disgrace, the king commanded to call the ignorant fools, and the holiday, they noted, the Day of Fools.

On this day back on the gaping hitched paper fish, for they are so easy to "catch on the hook." However, some of these bind clinging "waterfowl" with the rise of water in rivers at this time of year, and according to the abundance of fish of different sizes.

They love this festival and noisy carnival of Brazil, and in the hot cactus Mexico, and arrogant woman faraway America. It reached the point that the names of the most famous Fools April 1 announced on the air.

In eastern India, this day is celebrated on 31 March and called his Huli. Whatever called it a day, Huli, Day or the Day of laughter fool, this long-awaited holiday and loved.
