April : Nature is blooming, colors and fragrances flood the atmosphere.
I wish for what nature generously gives us, to fill the hearts of all of us with love, hope, courage and determination to overcome our problems and build a better everyday life for everyone.
HAPPY MONTH TO ALL OF YOU MY FRIENDS
April was originally the second month of the ten-month Roman calendar called Aprilis and was named after the Latin verb aperire, pu means to open, because they open this month, the flowers are blooming.
April up to the time of the Roman Emperor Julius Caesar included 29 days since then 30.
Nero wanted to rename April to Neronio (Nero), after a failed assassination attempt on 65 A.D , but this name did not prevail.
In the ancient Attic calendar, March corresponded to the second fortnight of the month of Elafivolion and the first fortnight of the month of Munyhiona.
April and May are the months of flowers ("April with flowers and May with wheels"). The April rain is considered very beneficial by the farmers ("If March produces two waters and April another one, joy s’ that couple that has a lot of seeds").
April is the month par excellence where Easter is celebrated, which is identified with the death on the cross and the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.
"April Fool's Day" with its innocent lies is a pan-European custom. This ancient custom arrived in Greece, rather, the time of the Crusades and has its roots in the ancient Celts. Because the weather was good in April, they used to go fishing on April Fool's Day. Most of the time they naturally returned empty-handed, so they resorted to false stories about big fish.
