Today Ghajnsielem celebrated the
solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ,
traditionally known as the feast of Corpus Christi. This
peculiarly Catholic commemoration celebrates the institution
of the Eucharist.
The 23 children who recently
received the First Holy Communion
took part in a short procession with the Blessed Sacrament
around the main streets of Ghajnsielem and it was concluded
with Sacramental Benediction. The parents and several
devotees proceeded with the children.
