Jubilee

Jubilee is a celebration of a period of time, anniversary or other special occasions. The word jubilee is derived from the Hebrew yobel, meaning ram's horn. In the ancient time, the jubilee was announced by the blowing of the shofar, a trumpet of ram's horn, and as a result, the occasion came to be known as yobel, or jubilee. The Arabic word for jubilee is also yobel, and Turkish ellinci.
A jubilee was instituted by Boniface VIII, who granted on February 22, 1300, and for each 100th year to come. The jubilee was altered in 1343 to every 50th year. The cycle was further reduced to 33 in 1389 and to 25 in 1470.
