Corpus Christi

Corpus Christi is a significant religious holiday in Spain, celebrated with great fervor and tradition. It typically falls in late May or early June, 60 days after Easter Sunday, and honors the Eucharist, a central element of Catholic faith. The holiday is marked by elaborate processions, where the Blessed Sacrament is paraded through the streets, often accompanied by clergy, local authorities, and townspeople dressed in traditional attire. One of the most famous celebrations takes place in Toledo, where the streets are adorned with intricate floral carpets and religious decorations. In other regions, such as Granada and Seville, the festivities include music, dancing, and local customs that reflect the rich cultural heritage of Spain. Corpus Christi is not only a time for religious reflection but also a vibrant display of community spirit and Spanish traditions.
