Here in the States Corpus Christi is generally moved to the nearest Sunday (so thus the 25th in this case). The parish I belong to has a big Eucharistic Procession every year.torao said:Nice. I just realized that this year ...May 22nd is actually Fronleichnam* and thus a legal holiday in the German states Hessen, NRW, Rheinland-Pfalz, Saarland, Baden-Württemberg, Bayern (Of course) and even in Sachsen and Thüringen in communities with predominant catholic population.
*My dictionary tells me it's called Feast of Corpus Christi or something along those lines... Makes sense.
That's interesting you celebrate it on the 22nd in Germany. I guess it's not much of a surprise that it is a legal holiday. No such luck here, which is probably why it is moved to Sunday.
