MOST HOLY BODY AND BLOOD OF CHRIST
Corpus Christi is a Western Catholic feast held every year on the second Sunday after Pentecost. The celebration is associated with the commemoration of Jesus’s Last Supper with his Apostles before His crucifixion. Still, the focus of Corpus Christi isn’t the passion and death of Jesus Christ, but rather that he is here among us for all time. And Catholic mass is the central element of the feast. According to the Catholic faith, the consecrated piece of unleavened bread known as the host is synonymous with the body of Christ. And the name of the holiday makes it clear that this is, first and foremost, a feast of communion. Corpus Christi is indeed the Latin term for body of Christ. For Catholics, it is a holiday on which they can celebrate their faith before the entire world.
