Reparations Made Real

Today we celebrate te Feast of Corpus Christi:

Corpus Christi, meaning ‘the body of Christ’ in Latin, celebrates the transubstantiation of bread and wine into the actual body of Christ during Mass. In some countries not only is the feast celebrated in mass but they also parade the streets with the consecrated wafer as a public show that the sacrifice of Christ was for the salvation of the whole world.

Corpus Christi is observed as a public holiday in: Austria, Brazil, Bolivia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Colombia, Croatia, Dominican Republic, Haiti, East Timor, parts of Germany, Liechtenstein, Monaco, Panama, Peru, Poland, Portugal, San Marino, parts of Spain and Switzerland, Grenada, Saint Lucia, and Trinidad and Tobago. 

The celebration of the Corpus Christi feast was suppressed during the Reformation in Protestant churches and hence most Protestants do not recognise or celebrate the feast. The feast occurs in either late May or early June, on the first Thursday after Trinity Sunday (60 days after Easter).

Taste and see, taste and see, the Goodness of the Lord, of the Lord.
