The Corpus Christi procession is a Catholic tradition that takes place annually on the feast of Corpus Christi, which celebrates the real presence of the body and blood of Christ in the Eucharist.
The purpose is to publicly venerate and give witness to the Catholic belief in the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist. As Pope Francis stated, it is "not a sign of pride but an invitation" to share in the gift of Christ's presence.
