Summary/Abstract: With the forming as an auto identifying person the human needs his own putting in the “coordinating system of the society”. Thus the jubilee appears where “saints” participate but in the center of the festivity is the one who celebrates it. In the Christian society this is expressed more distinctively. The human begins to celebrate his name-day, formally devoted to a historical person. The new society called the modern society at the end of the 19-th century and the beginning of the 20-th, searches in the frame of its institualization new forms for reproving its earth presence and its “inheritance”, here must be put the next three most important questions: 1. The human and the anniversary-aspiration after social auto identifying (in the frame of the more low institutional layers - family, friend society, neighbors- he celebrate s his birthday). 2.The political society and the need of those who have the power of anniversaries-outer and inner direction. 3.”Cultural” anniversaries-between the social and political space. The survey of these three questions will lead to the following conclusion; the anniversary as a social(cultural-historical) fact is a product foremost of the new time. This determines its characteristics-it carries the all signs of the concrete historical “counting of the hours” and is sense and active loading with its typical and particular characteristics.
