The feast of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ, still often referred to by its shorter Latin name of Corpus Christi, has benefited in recent years from its transfer from the first Thursday after Trinity Sunday to the Sunday of the following week, as well as from the revival of popular piety in the West.
This means that each June Corpus Christi processions have once again become a feature of the life of many parishes, permitting the faithful not only to deepen their love for Christ in the Eucharist but also showing the public something of what it means to be a Catholic.
