Corpus Christi procession
This image illustrates the celebrations surrounding Corpus Christi in Québec City in 1933. A long procession of Catholic children and adults makes its way through the streets. They are all dressed in their finest clothes for the occasion! The origins of this liturgical feast date back to the 13th century, when Pope Urban IV made it an obligatory holy day.
