Copus Christi Flowers being laid in Thaxted Church, Thaxted Essex 30 May 2024 Members of Thaxted Floral Society and members of the Church lay thousands of flower petals before this evenings feast of Corpus Christi ceremony takes place when the congragation walk through the petal display. The feast is liturgically celebrated on the Thursday after Trinity Sunday. WIKIPEDIA: The Feast of Corpus Christi (Ecclesiastical Latin: Dies Sanctissimi Corporis et Sanguinis Domini Iesu Christi, lit. 'Day of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Jesus Christ the Lord'), also known as the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ,[2] is a liturgical solemnity celebrating the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist; the feast is observed by the Latin Church, in addition to certain Western Orthodox, Lutheran, and Anglican churches. Two months earlier, the institution of the Eucharist at the Last Supper is observed on Maundy Thursday in a sombre atmosphere leading to Good Friday. The liturgy on that day also commemorates Christ's washing of the disciples' feet, the institution of the priesthood, and the agony in the Garden of Gethsemane.
