Thread: ¿Cómo se traduce "día de los inocentes" al inglés?

¡Hola, foreros!

Hoy, 28 de diciembre, es el día de los inocentes en Argentina (y creo que en todo América Latina también).

¿Podrán decirme cuál es el equivalente de esta fecha en inglés y cuándo se festeja?

¡Muchas gracias!

But April Fool's is a different celebration, isn't it?

Apparently, the tradition is spread worldwide.
But I don't know where it originated. Does anybody know?

Yo creo que se dice "Fool's day".

The innocent day or naive day?

So, it is called the Fool's Day.
Nowadays, ppl are using more neutral terms such as person with limited resources for the poor and person with limited ability for the handicapped. So, maybe we can take April Fool's Day a step further and make it April Pure Heart's Day? It gives it a touch of divinity. LOL.

Y qué es lo que se conmemora en el Día de los Inocentes?

It's an interesting idea, you should have a look a this thread: "What is mansplaining?" We ended up discussing the creation of male/female-specific terminology... But I guess we could include all sorts of categories.
