As of Neo4J 3.4, the system handles duration and dates, see the official documentation. See more examples here.

An example related to the original question: Retrieve the historical events that happened in the last 30 days from now :

WITH duration({days: 30}) AS duration
MATCH (h:HistoricEvent)
WHERE date() - duration < date(h.date)
RETURN h
