April month

April is the fourth month of the year in the Gregorian and Julian calendars. Its length is 30 days. April is commonly associated with the season of spring in the Northern Hemisphere, and autumn in the Southern Hemisphere, where it is the seasonal equivalent to October in the Northern Hemisphere and vice versa.

.

Name of April:

The name April is derived from the Latin word aperire, meaning "to open," symbolizing the opening of buds and flowers during springtime. It stems from the Roman month Aprilis, and was historically associated with the goddess Venus, leading to theories that it was derived from Aphrodite (Aphros).

​

Key details about the name and month:

•Latin Origin: Aperire ("to open").

•Roman Name: Aprilis.

•Alternative Theory: Named after the Greek goddess Aphrodite (Aphros), as April was sacred to her.

•Springtime Association: Represents the opening of flowers and trees in the Northern Hemisphere.

•Calendar Position: It is the 4th month of the year and has 30 days.

​

​

History

The Romans gave this month the Latin name Aprilis but the derivation of this name is uncertain. The traditional etymology is from the verb aperire, "to open", in allusion to its being the season when trees and flowers begin to "open", which is supported by comparison with the modern Greek use of άνοιξη (ánixi) (opening) for spring. Since some of the Roman months were named in honor of divinities, and as April was sacred to the goddess Venus, her Veneralia being held on the first day, it has been suggested that Aprilis was originally her month Aphrilis, from her equivalent Greek goddess name Aphrodite (Aphros), or the Etruscan name Apru. Jacob Grimm suggests the name of a hypothetical god or hero, Aper or Aprus.

​

April was the second month of the earliest Roman calendar, before Ianuarius and Februarius were added by King Numa Pompilius about 700 BC. It became the fourth month of the calendar year (the year when twelve months are displayed in order) during the time of the decemvirs about 450 BC, when it was 29 days long. The 30th day was added back during the reform of the calendar undertaken by Julius Caesar in the mid-40s BC, which produced the Julian calendar.

​

The Anglo-Saxons called April ēastre-monaþ. The Venerable Bede says in The Reckoning of Time that this month ēastre is the root of the word Easter. He further states that the month was named after a goddess Eostre whose feast was in that month. It is also attested by Einhard in his work Vita Karoli Magni.

​

St George's day is the twenty-third of the month; and St Mark's Eve, with its superstition that the ghosts of those who are doomed to die within the year will be seen to pass into the church, falls on the twenty-fourth.

​

In China the symbolic ploughing of the earth by the emperor and princes of the blood took place in their third month, which frequently corresponds to April.

​

In Finnish, April is huhtikuu, meaning slash-and-burn moon, when gymnosperms for beat and burn clearing of farmland were felled.

​

In Slovene, the most established traditional name is mali traven, the month when plants start growing. It was first written in 1466 in the Škofja Loka manuscript.

The month April originally had 30 days; Numa Pompilius made it 29 days long; finally, Julius Caesar's calendar reform made it 30 days long again, which was not changed in the calendar revision of Augustus Caesar in 8 BC.

April fools' day:

April Fools’ Day — occurring on April 1 each year — has been celebrated for several centuries by different cultures, though its exact origins remain a mystery.

​

April Fools’ Day 2026 is on Wednesday, April 1.

​

Traditions include playing hoaxes or practical jokes on others, often yelling “April Fools!” at the end to clue in the subject of the April Fools' Day prank.

While its exact history is shrouded in mystery, the embrace of April Fools' Day jokes by the media and major brands has ensured the unofficial holiday’s long life.

Origins of April Fools' Day Some historians speculate that April Fools' Day dates back to 1582, when France switched from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar, as called for by the Council of Trent in 1563. In the Julian Calendar, as in the Hindu calendar, the new year began with the spring equinox around April 1.

People who were slow to get the news or failed to recognize that the start of the new year had moved to January 1 and continued to celebrate it during the last week of March through April 1 became the butt of jokes and hoaxes and were called “April fools.” These pranks included having paper fish placed on their backs and being referred to as “poisson d’avril” (April fish), said to symbolize a young, easily caught fish and a gullible person.

​

Hilaria

In Ancient Rome Historians have also linked April Fools' Day to festivals such as Hilaria (Latin for joyful), which was celebrated in ancient Rome at the end of March by followers of the cult of Cybele. It involved people dressing up in disguises and mocking fellow citizens and even magistrates and was said to be inspired by the Egyptian legend of Isis, Osiris and Seth.

There’s also speculation that April Fools’ Day was tied to the vernal equinox, or first day of spring in the Northern Hemisphere, when Mother Nature fooled people with changing, unpredictable weather.

​

History of April Fools' Day April Fools' Day spread throughout Britain during the 18th century.

In Scotland, the tradition became a two-day event, starting with “hunting the gowk,” in which people were sent on phony errands (gowk is a word for cuckoo bird, a symbol for fool) and followed by Tailie Day, which involved pranks played on people's derrieres, such as pinning fake tails or “kick me” signs on them.

April Fools' Day Jokes and Pranks In modern times, people have gone to great lengths to create elaborate April Fools' Day hoaxes. Newspapers, radio and TV stations and websites have participated in the April 1 tradition of reporting outrageous fictional claims that have fooled their audiences.

​

In 1957, the BBC reported that Swiss farmers were experiencing a record spaghetti crop and showed footage of people harvesting noodles from trees. In 1985, Sports Illustrated writer George Plimpton tricked many readers when he ran a made-up article about a rookie pitcher named Sidd Finch who could throw a fastball over 168 miles per hour.

​

In 1992, National Public Radio ran a spot with former President Richard Nixon saying he was running for president again… only it was an actor, not Nixon, and the segment was all an April Fools' Day prank that caught the country by surprise.

​

In 1996, Taco Bell, the fast-food restaurant chain, duped people when it announced it had agreed to purchase Philadelphia's Liberty Bell and intended to rename it the Taco Liberty Bell. In 1998, after Burger King advertised a “Left-Handed Whopper,” scores of clueless customers requested the fake sandwich. Google notoriously hosts an annual April Fools' Day prank that has included everything from “telepathic search” to the ability to play Pac Man on Google Maps.

​

For the average trickster, there is always the classic April Fools' Day prank of covering the toilet with plastic wrap or swapping the contents of sugar and salt containers.

The Greek myth for the Aries zodiac:

Athamas, the founder of Thessaly, but also king of the city of Orchomenus in Boeotia (a region of southeastern Greece), took the goddess Nephele as his first wife.

They had two children, the boy Phrixus and the girl Helle.

Later Athamas became enamored of and married Ino, the daughter of Cadmus.

When Nephele left in anger, drought came upon the land. Ino was jealous of her stepchildren and plotted their deaths; in some versions, she persuaded Athamas that sacrificing Phrixus was the only way to end the drought.

Nephele, or her spirit, appeared to the children with a winged ram whose fleece was of gold.

The golden ram had been sired by the powerful god Poseidon.

Nephele's children escaped on the golden flying ram over the sea, but Helle fell off and drowned in the strait now named after her, the Hellespont.

The ram spoke to Phrixus, encouraging him and took the boy safely to the far away land of Colchis (modern-day southeast coastal region of the Black Sea), on the easternmost shore of the Euxine (Black) Sea.

​

There the ram was sacrificed to gods.

In essence, this act returned the ram to the god Poseidon.

Then the gods placed the golden ram on the sky and the RAM became the constellation of Aries.

​

Phrixus settled in the house of the king of Colchis Aeëtes, son of Helios the sun god.

He hung the Golden Fleece preserved from the ram on an oak in a grove sacred to Ares, the god of war and one of the Twelve Olympians.

The fleece was guarded by a never-sleeping dragon. The dragon was at the foot of the tree on which the fleece was placed.

​

Aftermath:

The Golden fleece became the target of Jason and the Argonauts.

.

EASTER - etymology:

The word "Easter" derives from Old English Ēastre (or Ēostrun), rooted in Germanic languages referring to a goddess of spring/dawn, Eostre, and is related to the word for east/sunrise. While most languages use derivatives of the Hebrew Pesach (Passover), English and German ("Ostern") uniquely utilize this Old English/Germanic term for the spring festival.

Key Etymological Details:

•Anglo-Saxon Goddess (Eostre/Ostara): The 8th-century monk Bede recorded that April was called Ēosturmōnaþ (Month of Ēostre) in honor of an Anglo-Saxon goddess of dawn and spring.

•Dawn and East: The name is closely linked to the Proto-Germanic root *austrō ("dawn"), which relates to the direction of the rising sun (east) and the resurrection story occurring at dawn.

•Germanic Link: "Easter" is directly cognate with the German Ostern.

•Alternative View (Pascha): Outside English and German, most European languages (e.g., Pâques, Pasqua) derive their name for the holiday from the Greek/Latin Pascha, which stems from the Hebrew Pesach (Passover).

•Not Ishtar: Modern linguistic consensus suggests the connection to the Babylonian goddess Ishtar is a popular misconception.

Essentially, the name "Easter" marks the Christian celebration of the resurrection by adopting the name of a pre-existing, older festival for the start of spring and the return of light/dawn.

April 2026 in "Massage Luc":

The month of March 2026 was really a strange month - professionally speaking.

In Montreal we have a little better spring weather and it rains in April.

"April showers make May's flowers".

This month with all the colorful and meaningful festivals, offer yourself the inexpensive luxury of a nice MALE MASSAGE - because you really deserve it!

Come to lie on my warm massage table and let me take good care of you - while April's rain plays romantic music falling in my window...

Happy Passover 2026 to all my clients.

I am always here waiting for you.
