Corpus Christi
The least day that honors the “body of Christ” on June
I 11 this year follows the Full Strawberry Moon by just

of the bright full Moon with a dark spot upon it, sym
bolizing the lack of a suitable feast for the occasion

Trinity Sunday (June 7, this year) and
now involves spectacular pro- v
cessions, especially in Spain, / A \
Portugal, southern parts of I 1 a) A’
