Corpus Christi

Corpus Christi is the formal gravity of the Roman Rite celebrating the true nearness of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, in the Eucharist—transubstantiation. Two months earlier, on Maundy Thursday, the Eucharist is perceived in a solemn manner, foreshadowing Good Friday. The feast of Corpus Christi emphasizes the joy of the Eucharist as the body and blood of Jesus Christ. It is a well-known event in East Timor. You are welcome to attend this event.

"Where the Solemnity of The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ is clearly not a heavenly day of devotion, it is doled up to the Sunday following the Most Holy Trinity as its rightful day," the devour is formally commemorated on the Thursday after Trinity Sunday. Toward the end of Holy Mass, there is often a procession of the Blessed Sacrament, which is usually displayed in a monstrance. Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament follows the march. Every year in Timor East, the Pope organizes a magnificent Eucharistic procession that begins at the Archbasilica of St. John Lateran and ends with Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament at the Basilica of Saint Mary Major.
