Corpus Christi (feast)
Corpus Christi is a Christian feast honouring the Eucharist, celebrated on the Thursday after Trinity Sunday. It began at Liège in 1246 after the visions of Juliana of Cornillon, and Pope Urban IV extended it to the whole Church in 1264. It is marked by processions with the consecrated host, and Orvieto Cathedral is linked to it through the miracle of Bolsena.
