Corpus Christi (Christian festival)

Corpus Christi is a Christian feast celebrated to honor the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ present in the Eucharist. Observed primarily by Catholics, it typically involves processions where consecrated bread, symbolizing Christ’s body, is carried through the streets. The celebration emphasizes the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist and underscores belief in his divine sacrifice. Usually held on the second Thursday after Pentecost, the festival combines religious rituals, prayers, and community participation, strengthening faith and expressing devotion to Christ’s sacrifice and the core teachings of Christianity.
