What is Corpus Christi?

So, one of these days I was thinking: Christmas is the birth of Jesus, Easter is his death and resurrection, so, what is the meaning of Corpus Christi? As I always do when I have doubts on a random matters, I consulted Wikipedia. That's what I found:

Corpus Christi (Latin for Body of Christ) is a Western Catholic solemnity. It is also celebrated in some Anglican, Lutheran churches and some Liberal Catholic Churches. It does not commemorate a particular event in Jesus's life but celebrates the Body of Christ in the Mass. [...] In the current Ordinary form of the Roman rite of the Catholic Church, the feast is officially known as the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ.

...

Ok, I guess this explains it. But if you want to read the whole text, you can check on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corpus_Christi_%28feast%29

Enjoy!
