In many ancient cultures, New Year's Day was on April 1. However, in 1582, Pope Gregory XIII ordered a new calendar (the Gregorian Calendar) to replace the old Julian Calendar. The new calendar called for New Year's Day to be celebrated on January 1.
In those days, because of a lack of good communication systems (like TV and radio), word spread very slowly. Therefore, many people did not know of the change of the New Year's Day for several years. There were also those who simply ignored the change and those who merely forgot. These people were considered "fools" and jokes were played on them.
