The year 2022 is synonymous with Jubilee for Elizabeth II.
The Queen of England will celebrate her 70 years of reign from June 2 to 5.
An event that will be marked by a somewhat special and unique jubilee in the British monarchy: that of platinum.
The Jubilee, what does that mean?
As
Le Figaro
explains , the word jubilee is taken from the Hebrew "yôvēl" which designates a ram's horn used as a trumpet every fifty years.
The sound announced the year of the jubilee, that of the liberation which marks the emancipation of "all the inhabitants of the land" as it is written in Leviticus.
The term was later translated into Latin as
jubilæus.
In the Catholic religion, from the year 1300, the jubilee was characterized by a period of forgiveness and temporal penance granted by the pope every fifty years.
From now on, it is a holy year returning every 25 years, specifies the Larousse.
How many regnal years is the Platinum Jubilee?
The term has now passed into everyday language and marks, for example, the anniversary of taking office.
In sports, it celebrates the career of a player who has retired.
In the Anglo-Saxon world, the jubilee (“jubilee”) takes several names depending on the anniversary that is celebrated.
Thus, in the case of Queen Elisabeth, the "silver jubilee" celebrates 25 years of reign, the "golden jubilee" (Golden jubilee) the 50 years, and the "diamond jubilee" (Diamond Jubilee) the 60 years.
A level notably reached by Queen Victoria, the great-great-grandmother Elisabeth II, who will celebrate her “platinum jubilee” (Platinum jubilee) for her 70 years at the head of the British monarchy.
