Sobre este feriado
The Feast of Corpus Christi, also known as the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ, is a liturgical celebration of the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist, observed by the Catholic Church and other Western Christian denominations. The feast relates to the institution of the Eucharist at the Last Supper, which is commemorated on Maundy Thursday, an event that also recalls Christ's washing of the disciples' feet and the agony in the Garden of Gethsemane.
