Transformation and modernization of modern societies emphasize the urgency the issues of identity formation and duration, are also factor in the celebration of Sunday. The direction of analysis give the following questions: What is identity?, The role it plays in shaping the Sunday celebration of the Christian identity? And what is the connection between these realities? The source is a sociological analysis of literature and the message of John Paul II in his apostolic letter Dies Domini to celebrate Sunday. Dynamism and extent of social change of modern societies entails an identity crisis phenomenon. It also affects Christians. The creation of Christian identity is combined with the fact of the resurrection of Christ, giving rise to celebrate the Lord’s Day practice. Sunday Celebrations creates and renews the personal and collective identity of Christians. Cultivation of the day or the cessation points ultimately on the high valorization of the human person, whose decisions and choices related to the responsibility for shaping their own identity.
