In summary, the front page of the Montreal Gazette features a large picture of the cardinals discussing the pope election, while the anniversary of Einstein's death is relegated to the second page.

Most people have no idea how Einstein changed their everyday lives in ways they can't even imagine.
What's sad, however, is this: on the front page of the Montreal Gazette today is a huge picture of the cardinals with news about the pope election; meanwhile, the anniversary of Einstein's death is on the second page, way down at the bottom, in a little square, barely mentioned.

Isn't "anniversary" equal to "Fest"(Ger.),as in a joyful celebration?Should we COMMEMORATE Einstein's death,or celebrate it...?

My dictionary gives two definitions of anniversary, both a purely chronological one and the celebration one. I meant the former.

I think its traditional to celebrate a birthday of a man, and ''remember a man for who they were'' on their death date.
Einstine was a great man (whom I wish to speak to if I can just figure out v > c travel roflmfao) when it came to physics.

"Anniversary" is purely chronological.

Anniversary is not.It has double sense,as any dictionary would show.

I concede; however, I don't find "celebration" inherently implied by "anniversary". Just as we can celebrate an anniversary, so can we commemorate it.
