The Feast of Corpus Christi commemorates the sacrament of Holy Communion in the Roman Catholic Church. This includes the receiving of the Eucharist which Christians believe symbolizes the body and blood of Christ.
This feast seeks to remind us of Jesus Christ's sacrifice Do this in remembrance of me - Luke 22:19; 1 Corinthians 11:24-25.
In many countries, Corpus Christi is observed on the Thursday after Trinity Sunday, however where it is not a holy day of obligation, the celebration occurs on the Sunday that follows.
