It was not invented by the Church until the 14 th century . Invented = dreamt up .
Another meaningless piece of Cult instruction to ensure deeper and wider Sheeple compliance .
Handed out as a never ending miracle event to keep you in awe and fear .

From reading in this forum I know that there are also some Catholics here.
Do they know this day?

As it seems, these processions are rarer these days.

It has become an ugly and un-pleasant habit in Germany, to mock this holiday in the most tasteless way.

How is it in your countries?

Attend a Corpus Christi procession​

To this day, the Fronleichnamprozession is still seen as a symbolic embodiment of contemporary Bavarian Christianity.

Although some of the most famous Feast of Corpus Christi processions take place in more rural communities outside Germany's major cities, processions can also be seen in cities such as Munich and Frankfurt. The Feast of Corpus Christi processions usually begin early in the morning, so plan your visit accordingly if you don’t want to miss out on witnessing these magnificent processions.

Corpus Christi Processions

The Roman Catholic Church celebrates the Feast of Corpus Christi (Fronleichnam) 10 days after Whitsun, which is marked as a holiday in some German states.

One of many things I've read:
"In fact, the Corpus Christi falls on the Thursday of the second week after Pentecost, i.e. the Thursday after the Solemnity of the Most Holy.." and blah dee blah blah. Whatever. Preach your personal truths down upon one another, religious white people

Perhaps come to some happy consensus on the date anyhow.

Thursday, way past Easter, but also only May 29th here on my bench? Good to keep pissing off all those spoiled brats from the city in Texas of the same name though.
