What is Corpus Christi?

And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that those who believe in him may not perish, but may have life everlasting. John 3:14

Corpus Christi means Body of Christ in Latin. The Feast Day of Corpus Christi celebrates the institution of the Holy Eucharist (Holy Mass) at the Last Supper.

Jesus Christ is really present in the Eucharist. We carry the Eucharist in procession so that we can show our love for Christ in a very public way. Our faith becomes stronger by showing our love in this way. We show our love for our neighbour also by bringing Our Lord and Saviour closer to them. We celebrate the return of our King by having a procession through the streets to tell everyone that he is here ‘in the Flesh’.

The four altars represent the four corners of the world where we must take Jesus. By participating in this procession we can get new life and strength to walk continually on the right path. The tradition of Corpus Christi has been part of our faith for hundreds of years and is celebrated around the world by thousands. It is a time that we can show our faith publicly.
