Poisson d'avril
Un poisson d’avril est une plaisanterie, voire un
canular, que l’on fait le 1er avril à ses connaissances ou à ses amis. Il est
aussi de coutume de faire des canulars dans les médias, aussi bien presse
écrite, radio, télévision que sur Internet.
Pour les enfants, il consiste à accrocher un
poisson de papier dans le dos de personnes dont on veut se gausser. « Poisson
d’avril ! » est aussi l’exclamation que l’on pousse une fois qu’une des plaisanteries
est découverte.

Le 25 mars: un jour véritablement grec
25th March: A really Greek Orthodox Day.
March 25 is a dual national and religious
holiday in Greece. Greeks celebrate the anniversary of the War of Independence
against the Turks in 1821. On March 25, 1821 after almost 400 years of
occupation and oppression the bishop of Patras Germanos, raised the Greek flag, shouted
“eleftheria h thanatos” (Freedom or
Death) and the Greek Revolution began. During this hard period of four centuries
Greeks strived hard to maintain their language, their religion and their
identity.
