April 1st is still considered New Year's Day for Pagans in the Southern Hemisphere. In the Northern Hemisphere, it's on Halloween, yet another Pagan holiday.
And once again, little miss know it all is wrong. many Christians continued to celebrate the new year on the Annunciation... some as late as the 1700s before adopting January 1st (which happens to be the point where Earth is closest to the sun in it’s orbit. The position of the seasons in relation to the year is a mostly happy accident.)
Wait are you saying Fox Network’s animated comedy series The Simpsons isn’t a reliable source of historical information?! Thank you for the eye-opening insight good sir, I shall stop using it as a footnote in my PhD thesis forthwith!
The actual origin is unknown but there is this "The mistake of Noah sending the dove out of the ark before the water had abated, on the first day of April, and to perpetuate the memory of this deliverance it was thought proper, whoever forgot so remarkable a circumstance, to punish them by sending them upon some sleeveless errand similar to that ineffectual message upon which the bird was sent by the patriarch"
Saying Christmas came from the pagan festivals is like saying snow plough trucks came from pagan festivals. They're close to each other more because of the universality of seasons rather than direct adaptation.
Achshually Lisa, the early Christian's followed the old Jewish calendar with 1 Nisan being in the spring, and it was the pagan Romans who celebrated New Year at the present time. Meanwhile Northern Europeans celebrated New Years at the beginning of spring throughout most of their Christian Era. England, Wales, Ireland and Britain's American colonies only adopted the change to pagan Rome's January 1st in 1752: until then, the first day of the new year was Lady Day, on 25 March. Only 250 years before this episode.
Now who's laughing? Now who's laughing?
Disney after they bought The Simpsons and all of 20th Century Fox
And that’s the story of April Fool’s Day
Dad, I was telling the story !!!
I love this skit. One of the best little moments in Golden Age Simpsons.
Literally my favorite line "God bless those Pagans."
Absolutely hilarious! What really sticks out for me is how everyone bar Lisa takes part and she's just sitting there on the sidelines oblivious.
Music Uploads Here, There and EVERYWHERE She's actually playing a drum
This is THE REAL new year. 4/1 Simpsons knew. They always do.
Homer's grunt at 0:43 cracks me up so much 😂😂
Moral: Don’t prank Pagans!

Blood for bawl! bloods for bawl! blood for bawl!

Actually, it should've been, "Blood for Woden! Blood for Woden! Blood for Woden!"
I like how Lisa is just sitting there, yet, her voice is the most prominent xD
Happy April Fools day!

As a medievalist, I'm just going to take a guess and say that this isn't quite accurate...

Everyone knows that Mary and Joseph would decorate an evergreen tree every winter. It was the pagans who decided to keep it indoors.
genial
