June 10th is Corpus Christi, a festival of Roman Catholicism honoring the Holy Eucharist on the Thursday after Trinity Sunday, but today often kept on the following Sunday. First promoted by Juliana of Liege (ca. 1230), the feast was promulgated by Urban IV in 1264 and became universal in the Western church in the following century.
