About Corpus Christi

Corpus Christi, the Feast of the Body and Blood of Christ, is a Catholic feast celebrated on the Thursday after Trinity Sunday, which is 60 days after Easter Sunday by the Western (Gregorian) calendar. It therefore falls on a Thursday between 21 May and 24 June. In places where it is not a holy day of obligation the church moves the celebration to the following Sunday, but where it is a public holiday the Thursday is the day off.

It is a public holiday in Austria, Croatia, Poland, Portugal and Liechtenstein. In Germany it is a holiday in six states, Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria, Hesse, North Rhine-Westphalia, Rhineland-Palatinate and Saarland, and in some municipalities of Saxony and Thuringia, which this site lists but does not count. In Switzerland it is counted in 9 of the 26 cantons: Appenzell Innerrhoden, Jura, Lucerne, Nidwalden, Obwalden, Schwyz, Uri, Valais and Zug. In Aargau, Fribourg, Neuchâtel, Solothurn and Ticino it holds only in some districts or municipalities or is not equal to a Sunday, so this site lists it there without counting it. In Spain it is a regional matter, and in the official lists for 2026 and 2027 only Castilla–La Mancha has it. It is not a holiday in the United Kingdom, Ireland, France or the Nordic countries, and Italy took it off its list of civil holidays in 1977.

Because it always falls on a Thursday, one day of leave on the Friday gives a four-day weekend, and in regions that observe it the Friday is a popular bridge day. Corpus Christi never needs a substitute day. It falls ten days after Whit Monday in the same year.
