The Catholic feast of the Eucharist, with a street procession carrying the host in a monstrance.
Se celebrează în joia de după Duminica Sfintei Treimi (la 11 zile după Rusalii) sau în duminica următoare. Procesiunea are adesea patru altare împodobite cu flori, la care se oprește, iar copiii presară petale pe drum.
