Dear All

Hello

Hope you are keeping well.

This festival is observed by many Catholics and Anglicans and commerates the Body of Christ during the mass or serive.

The Eucharist for many is an important part of their worship.

Its celebration on a Thursday is meant to associate it with the institution by Jesus of the Eucharist during the Last Supper, commemorated on Maundy Thursday, but because the primary focus of Maundy Thursday is the institution of the Eucharist and not a veneration of the Real Presence of Christ in the consecrated elements of bread and wine, Corpus Christi is observed after the fifty days of Easter are over.

If you are going to a service, travel safely.

Take gentle care
Very best wishes
