April Fools’ Day or April Fool’s Day is an annual custom on 1 April consisting of practical jokes and hoaxes. Jokesters often expose their actions by shouting “April Fools!” at the recipient. Mass media can be involved in these pranks, which may be revealed as such the following day. April 1 is not a public holiday in any country except Cyprus which is a national holiday (though not for April Fools’ Day but instead for a holiday called “Cyprus National Day”), Odessa, Ukraine and the first of April is an official city holiday.[1] The custom of setting aside a day for playing harmless pranks upon one’s neighbour has been relatively common in the world historically
