Try this search: "el Día de los Santos Inocentes"
This will give you a number of sites that explain what it means.
This one is in Spanish:

Clicking on the English translation link on the page that comes up gets you the English page:

How the day is celebrated is found here.

I have understood, El Dia de los Santos inocentes is a biblical story, when the Herodes King tried of kills to the children of that epoch, the I don't know very well the story above it, but as Rusty said, you can do a search from Google.ca, and the website will show you a list above the possible website where you can find information above of El dia de los santos inocentes, I hope you find the information to you need.

In Spain Santos Inocentes is like April Fools day in the United States. There's a big Chistmas fair in la Plaza Mayor of Madrid, but mostly what they sell is prank gifts like fake turds and rubber vomit. It was a bit disconerting to me a first. I usually expect angels, Santas, creches but what I saw was something quite different. I got used to it though.

My

Esta sería una conversación en México el dia de los inocentes....

Poli: Elaina, ¿tienes 10 dólares que me prestes?

Elaina: Claro que sí, pero tendrías que pagarme el viernes porque no cobro hasta el lunes y los necesito. (Le dá el dinero a Poli)

Poli: Lo siento Elaina pero siendo este el día de los inocentes no te lo puedo pagar el viernes.

Elaina: ¡UGH! ¡Poli! Me has vacilado! ¡Qué fácil caí!

Poli: ja ja ja ja ja....te veo el día de la Candelaria para pagarte.

Elaina: Pero qué tonta fuí. Pero a lo mejo no tanto. Voy a ver a David. A ver si él cae.

Everything you borrow on this day you must return by "El Día de la Candelaria". Does anyone know when that is? I do.

I haven't heard it before, but it confirms what I suspected that el día de los santos inocentes tiene algo de ver con trucos y como te dije en España ese día no es nada serio. Imagine going to what looks like a Christmas fair and finding aerosol poop and whoopie cushions for sale there! Until that day I never saw aerosol poop before. Apparently it hasn't made to ours shores yet

And what the heck does "aerosol poop" look like?

UGH......GROSS! Please tell me I'm wrong!

Is it an aerosol to spray the scent of poop?
