"A central doctrine of Catholicism is the belief that the bread and wine consumed at Mass become truly Christ: his body, blood, soul, and divinity. While this truth is celebrated every Sunday, the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ offers a heightened focus through liturgy and procession. The feast originated in the 13th century, inspired by the visions of St. Juliana of Belgium (1193-1258), who communicated her experiences to her bishop, later Pope Urban IV. In 1264, Pope Urban IV formally established the feast for the Latin Church, with the inaugural celebration at the Cathedral of Orvieto."
