It is a traditional day for playing pranks on unsuspecting people. In many countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom, people play tricks on others. A favourite joke is to send someone on a fool's errand (a search for something that does not exist), or to get people to believe ridiculous things. The victim is called an April Fool.<br /><br />No one knows where the April Fools' custom began. The origin is uncertain but may be related to the arrival of spring in late March, when nature "fools" humanity with changes in weather. Another explanation has to do with the change to the Gregorian calendar in 1582, which moved New Year's Day to January 1.<br /><br />The tradition originated in France and Great Britain and it was introduced into America in colonial times.<br /><br />The French call April 1 "Poisson d'Avril" or "April Fish". French children sometimes stick a picture of a fish on the back of their schoolmates, crying "Poisson d'Avril" when the prank is discovered.<br /><br /></div></span>Elena González Guerrerohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11883088372028892198noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2439109022343507653.post-79278596544171032072010-03-25T19:54:00.003+01:002010-04-04T20:29:22.522+02:00Easter<div align="justify"><span style="font-size:130%;">Next week we'll be enjoying our Holy Week vacation, which finishes with Easter.

In Ireland, Saint Patrick’s Day is both a holy day and a national holiday. Saint Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland because he brought Christianity to the Irish. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">According to legend, Saint Patrick used a <a href="http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Shamrock.svg">shamrock</a> (a type of clover) to explain about God. The shamrock has three leaves on each stem. Saint Patrick told the people that the shamrock was like the idea of the Trinity – that in the one God there are three divine beings: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Although it began in Ireland, Saint Patrick’s Day is celebrated in countries around the world. People with Irish heritage remind themselves of the beautiful green countryside of Ireland by wearing green and taking part in the festivities.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Saint Patrick’s Day is usually celebrated with a <a href="http://www.startpage.ie/Ireland/Galleries/StPatricksParade2005/StPatricksParade034.aspx">parade</a>. The one in Dublin, the capital of Ireland, is very famous. But the one in New York City is one of the biggest. It lasts for hours. </span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">One tale about Patrick is that he drove the snakes from Ireland. This is a metaphor for his bringing Christianity to Ireland and driving out the pagan religions. It’s true that Ireland has no snakes, but this has to do with the fact that Ireland is an island and being separated from the rest of the continent the snakes couldn’t get there. </span><br /></span></div><p align="justify"><span style="color:#009900;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="color:#000000;">Play a <a href="http://www.dltk-holidays.com/patrick/contest/index.htm">game</a></span><span style="color:#000000;"> here and have good luck!
