New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
| While there are plenty of stories floating around about the origins of this April holiday, no one really knows how it started. What is known is that its celebration goes back hundreds of years and it shares similarities with even older celebrations the world over. This just goes to show how important it is to have a day where we can all act goofy. Acting silly helps a community let off steam and bond over shared laughter. It can also bring luck. Some folklore has it that pranks must be pulled before noon, or they will bring bad luck to the prankster. If you're "lucky" enough to get pranked, remember to take it in stride and maintain a sense of humor. Being good-natured will bring you good luck, while getting angry draws bad luck. Now go prank one another! |
