Corpus Christi Festivals

Corpus Christi Festivals are religious celebrations honoring the Christian belief in the Eucharist, where bread and wine are believed to become the body and blood of Christ. Typically held in late spring or early summer, these festivals feature processions through streets, often with participants dressed in traditional attire, carrying, and often adorning, a consecrated communion host. These events aim to publicly express faith, promote community spirit, and celebrate the importance of the Eucharist in Catholic and some Christian traditions. They are marked by music, prayer, and sometimes elaborate decorations, serving as both spiritual observance and cultural festivity.
