April Fools' Day...
Precursors to the "false" holiday would include the Roman Festival of Hilaria on March 25th, which was oddly enough the Feast of Annunciation and was celebrated as the New Year's Holiday in Europe until about the 15th Century, this was a week long holiday ending on April 1st...
Some believe that this refers to the Pagan Celebrations of the New Year, but, as Sarah would know, Pagans generally celebrated the birth of a New Year at Yuletide or with Saturnalia, which would be closer to the Christians copying the Pagans again when they officially changed the New Year's Holiday to January 1st.
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

20% of them would be extremely violent and psychotic, and they would from their own mouths admit that they want to kill people that leave their religion
