The feast of Corpus Christi is a Catholic liturgical solemnity celebrating the real presence of the body and blood of Jesus Christ in the sacrament of the Eucharist which is known as transubstantiation. The Eucharist is practiced on Holy Thursday in a solemn atmosphere just before the Good Friday. The liturgy of this day also honors the institution of the priesthood, the washing of the disciples’ feet by Jesus and the agony in the Garden of Gethsemane. This feast was created to make a day that focuses solely on the Eucharist to emphasize its joy since it is the sacrifice of the body and blood of Jesus Christ.
