Corpus Christi
Corpus Christi (Latin: Body of Christ) in Catholicism is a religious feast celebrated by Roman Catholics on the eighth Thursday after Easter, i.e. 53 days after Easter, to commemorate the institution of the Holy Eucharist. It is also celebrated by some in the Church of England and the Episcopal Church.
When is the Feast of Corpus Christi?
The Feast of Corpus Christi is held on the Thursday after Trinity Sunday. As such, it is a mirror to Holy Thursday, the Thursday before Easter.
