THE month of April has different meanings to different peoples and places.
Google says that in some parts of the world, April marks planting time.
In other parts, it is start of the harvest season.
April is said to be Humor Month, although I wonder how we can humor it much considering the COVID-19 pandemic we are now in.
Nevertheless, I’m sure you can see on social media how people have turned to laughter to ease themselves of the pain. They make jokes out of quite serious threats to health.
Google suggests we laugh it up! Humor is still the best medicine.
The birthstone for April is the diamond. The zodiac signs are Aries (March 21 – April 19) and Taurus (April 20-May 20).
April is named after Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love.
In the Roman calendar, the fourth month April is spelled Aprilis, meaning “to open.”
Festivals held in April include Parrilla, a day celebrating the founding of Rome.
