Corpus Christi or Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ, formerly called Corpus Domini ('body of the Lord'), is a feast of the Catholic Church intended to celebrate the Eucharist. Its main purpose is to proclaim and increase the faith of believers in the real presence of Jesus Christ in the Blessed Sacrament, publicly worshiping him (latría) on the Thursday after the Solemnity of the Holy Trinity, which in turn takes place on Sunday following Pentecost (that is, Corpus Christi is celebrated 60 days after Easter Sunday). Specifically, Corpus Christi is the Thursday following the ninth Sunday after the first full moon of spring in the Northern Hemisphere. In some countries this party has been moved to the following Sunday to adapt to the work calendar.
