Corpus Christi

[Keeping Advent & Christmas / Lent & Easter @calendarcustoms]

Pope Leo XIV recalled that Thursday marks the Solemnity of Corpus Christi, encouraging the faithful to keep alive the public witness of faith made visible in Corpus Christi processions around the world.

Happy Ascension Day! Not exactly a pilgrimage but I'm Beating the Bounds in Oxford this morning. 👣

Easter Monday: Hallaton Hare Pie Scrambling

[Robbert Leusink 🇳🇱 @robbertleusink]

On Good Friday, every church bell goes silent

Parents in France used to tell their children the bells have grown wings and flown to Rome to be blessed by the Pope

On Easter Sunday they fly back, dropping chocolate eggs into gardens as they pass overhead

French children do not look for a rabbit

[St Alban the Martyr, Holborn @stalbansholborn]

Christ is risen! Alleluia!

[Catholic Arena @CatholicArena]

One of the beautiful traditions of Holy Week is where Jesus and Mary rush to meet one another after His Resurrection. ✝️

[Spunky Conservative Patriot™ @SpunkyPatriot_]

Amazing! Watch until the end. This isn't just fireworks. This is a 900-year-old Easter ritual in Florence, Italy. It's called Scoppio del Carro - "The Explosion of the Cart." Read🧵thread for more details.

[Mambo Italiano @mamboitaliano__]

🚨 Florence, Italy 🇮🇹

The incredible centuries-old Easter Sunday tradition of the “Explosion of the Cart”

A ritual of fire, archbishops, crusades, doves, resurrection, and a good omen! ✨🕊️

[Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris @notredameparis]

Christ est ressuscité ! Il est vraiment ressuscité. Alléluia
Christ is risen ! truly, He is risen. Alleluia

[Archbishop of Canterbury @ArchbishopSarah]

Jesus doesn’t wait for us to have it all together. He is with us in the darkness. He calls us by name and invites us to be with him in the light of the resurrection, to trust that we are known and loved.

Dos detalles de la Celebración de la Pasión del Señor en la Basílica de San Pedro, el Papa aparece descalzo y sin anillos: signo radical de kénosis, despojo y comunión con Cristo crucificado. No poder, sino amor que se entrega hasta el extremo. #ViernesSanto

In a first for #Malta over 100 black drapes are signifying mourning across the balconies and windows of St. Paul Street. Residents and businesses have contributed to this feat shrouding their facades in observance of #GoodFriday

Good Friday at Amalfi Cathedral, Italy

[Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @MayorofLondon]

The Passion of Jesus returned to Trafalgar Square on Good Friday - an epic retelling of Christ’s journey to the cross with a cast of more than 100 actors and volunteers.

Londoners and visitors gathered in the heart of the city to witness this powerful reenactment for Holy Week.

[Archbishop of Canterbury @ArchbishopSarah]

In the washing of feet at @CburyCathedral this evening, we remembered Christ’s example of humble service.

A simple, profound act that calls us to love and serve one another.
