The Catholic Church marked the feast of Corpus Christi on Thursday, celebrating the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist.

The feast is traditionally observed throughout the world with Masses and processions of the Blessed Sacrament.

Most countries celebrate it on the Thursday after Trinity Sunday, but some bishops' conferences, such as England and Wales, have transferred it to the following Sunday.
