Corpus Christi
Corpus Christi, Latin for the Body of Christ, is a Catholic feast that celebrates the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist. It is observed on the Thursday after Trinity Sunday, and in many countries it is marked with outdoor processions in which the consecrated host is carried through towns in a monstrance, often under a canopy and accompanied by flower petals scattered on the route. The date is a Thursday, but in some countries the procession and the holiday are moved to the following Sunday. The feast is widely known by local names.
Some of the most distinctive customs are the flower carpets laid along processional routes, which are a feature of the celebrations in Poland, Portugal, Croatia, Spain, Austria and Germany, and the pageants of local guilds, bands and brotherhoods. In Poland the day, called Boże Ciało, is among the most widely kept religious holidays, and in German-speaking regions it is known as Fronleichnam. In German-speaking regions, the procession is often led by clergy, altar servers and local societies in traditional costume, and in some places the processions include guns fired as salutes. The mood is festive rather than solemn, since the feast celebrates the Eucharist rather than the Passion.
