The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ, also known as the Solemnity of the Corpus Christi, celebrates the Real Presence of the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ in the elements of the Eucharist. It was proposed by Saint Thomas Aquinas in order to create a feast emphasizing the joy of the Eucharist, separated from the other aspects of Holy Thursday, upon which we celebrate the institution of the Eucharist. Historically on a Thursday, it is transferred to Sunday in most places. It is often marked by a procession of the Blessed Sacrament—generally displayed in a monstrance—and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament.
Traditionally there is a procession around the church or town in honor of the Real Presence of the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus.
