Corpus Christi guilds
(Redirected from Guild of Corpus Christi)
Corpus Christi guilds were medieval religious guilds centering around the Feast of Corpus Christi and the Corpus Christi procession.[1] Other common aims of the guilds were providing altar candles to illuminate the Sacred Host[2] and accompanying priests when taking communion to the sick or dying.[3]
It was a common dedication for English guilds.[4] There were also a number of confréries dedicated to Corpus Christi in France.[5]
