April Fools

April first, also known as April fools, is a time of laughter and pranks. This day comes originally from a typo in a book published in 1325. It's called Canterbury Tales. The book originally serve the purpose of spreading the feast day of the Annunciation, March 25. But the author instead accidentally wrote March 32 or April. The author was mocked for his error and therefore we tease an prank each other on this date.

Today however is aslo the feast day of St. Cellach. Last hereditary archbishop of Armagh, Ireland, who named St. Malachy as his successor when he died on April 1 at Ardpatrick, in Munster. He was called Cellach Mc Aedh, a native of Ireland, possibly a Benedictine of Glastonbury, also called Celsus. Cellach taught at Oxford, England, until 1106, when he became the archbishop of Armagh at the age of twenty-six, serving there with distinction. In 1129 on a visitation of Munster he died and was buried in Lismore at his own request.
