Corpus Christi

Corpus Christi, known as *Fronleichnam* in German, is a significant Catholic holiday celebrated in Liechtenstein, a predominantly Catholic country. It falls on the Thursday after Trinity Sunday, typically in late May or June, and is a public holiday. The day commemorates the Eucharist and the belief in the real presence of Jesus Christ in the consecrated bread and wine. In Liechtenstein, Corpus Christi is marked by vibrant religious processions, where the faithful gather to honor the Blessed Sacrament. These processions often involve beautifully decorated altars, traditional music, and the participation of local communities. The streets are adorned with flowers, and participants carry banners and statues, creating a festive and solemn atmosphere. The day is also an opportunity for families and communities to come together, often followed by shared meals and social gatherings. Corpus Christi in Liechtenstein reflects the country's deep-rooted Catholic traditions and its strong sense of community and faith.
