*Corpus Christi is the English version of the same feast day. In fact when the Cistercians were invented in 1098 there was neither - the Corpus Domini Feast Day was only introduced into the Church calendar in 1312 by the French Pope Urban IV. The feast day became the occasion for major Eucharistic processions and infioratas like this one. Upcoming Corpus Domini days are Thursdays 22 May 2008, 11 June 2009, 3 June 2010 (with processions in towns such as Orvieto on the following Sunday).
