The name 'Corpus Christi' is Latin for 'the body of Christ'. This jubilant festival is celebrated by Roman Catholics and other Christians to proclaim the truth of the transubstantiation of bread and wine into the actual body of Christ during Mass.
Corpus Christi is a public holiday in some countries with a predominantly Catholic population, including, among others, Argentina, Haiti, parts of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Brazil, Colombia, Austria, Croatia, Bolivia, Dominican Republic, and East Timor.
Legend has it that in 1519, on the Roman Catholic Feast Day of Corpus Christi, Spanish explorer Alonzo Alvarez de Pineda discovered a lush semi-tropical bay on what is now the southern coast of Texas.
