This research is to study the policies of the Islamic Republic of Iran about time through calendar. Governments all over the world need to set their boundaries in place and determining their seat in time, to define their identity and gain legitimacy. Calendar is a means which politics of time are reflected in its frame. Continues changes of calendar, congestion of anniversaries, and establishing a special institute to fix anniversaries and supervising on it, shows the government attention to calendar and special policies run on it. This research’s theoretical approach includes Durkheim’s theory of distinction between sacred and profane times, Halbwachs’ theory of collective memory and Hobsbawm’s theory of invention of tradition. In order to study the policies run on Iran’s calendar, the historical method was employed and the documents in general culture council were perused. Research findings indicate a policy most focusing on the society’s past, which tries to deliver a special narrative of the society, based on its interests and its present situation.
