It is a most important task for Frobel how to recognize "a single essential life given from God" (das Gȍttliche). Though it is not visible, it connects humans by the possession of shared life, in regard to the anthropological meaning. Furthermore, this recognition is not simply an objective one, but an intuitive feeling of the life in all things, Frȍbel planned and held several different festivals of play to awaken the "intuition of life unity" (Ahnung) for both adults and children at all stages of development. In this paper, the anthropological meaning of F.Frȍbel's "festival" (Fest, Feier) is examined by dealing with five phases in connection with the "intuition of life unity". (1) Birthday celebration--- Sharing life. (2) Engagement celebration--- Passing life from generation to generation. (3) At the grave of the Mr. Willhelm Carl--- A life in heaven. (4) Christmas festival--- Openness for the holy. (5) Play festival--- Sympathy with all living creatures in the universe. By participation in a "festival", humans will make their daily life, which is inclined to monotonousness, come alive. This can be realized by a single essential life given from God. Through the "intuition of life unity", one can share a physical and mental sense of unity and interconnectedness. Thus, human beings can renew their lives at a higher level. This is the anthropological meaning of the "festival".
