Well… kind of hahaha. On December 28th in Catalonia, we celebrate el dia dels Sants Innocents, literally the day of the innocent saints.
It all comes from the Christian origins when Herod ordered to kill innocents: all the children under 2 years old in order to kill Jesus. It is a tradition to hang a llufa (a paper-cut human) usually made with newspapers on the back of members of your family or friends (they will be the innocents) 😛
Moreover, it is a day when all jokes and pranks are accepted. Nowadays people don’t do the llufa thing, but for example, media makes up some fake news and people have to discover which one is.
I remember hanging some llufes on people on the street and family members haha and my sister, my father, and I also used to buy some pranks like sugars with a fake bug inside and put it on our grandparents’ coffee so they screamed haha Oh, the good old days! 🙂
What jokes or pranks have you done in April Fool’s Day or el dia dels Sants Innocents?
