-- April Fool's Day started in Europe, a celebration of the Norse God Loki. People celebrated Loki around the time of April to celebrate new beginnings and changes. This was a way of honoring the necessity and growth achieved through change. They also believed tricking others and playing pranks would fool evil spirits to prevent them from interfering with the many fertility rituals being conducted at the time. April Fool's Day is usually marked by the commission of hoaxes and other practical jokes of varying sophistication on friends, enemies, and neighbors, or sending them on fools' errands, the aim of which is to embarrass the gullible.
