Golden Jubilee

Japanese: golden jubilee(英語表記)goldenjubilee
Golden Jubilee

…Jubilee means a trumpet made from a horn in Hebrew, and it comes from the fact that the 50th year after the completion of the seven-year period (7 x 7 years), which was an extension of the principle of the Sabbath year, which transferred the idea and practice of the Sabbath to the year, was announced by blowing a trumpet as a year of liberation and amnesty (great Sabbath year). Due to the association of the word Jubilee with the Latin word jubilum (meaning "shout of joy"), the custom of celebrating the 50th year of a joyous event as a year or day of joy later arose. On the other hand, in the Catholic Church, it became customary to start the jubilee amnesty by announcing a year in which indulgences were granted for certain religious acts, such as pilgrimages to Rome. …
