Corpus Christi solemnity in Toledo, Spain, Religious festivity in Toledo, Spain
The Corpus Christi procession traverses the medieval streets of Toledo, with participants carrying a 160-kilogram golden monstrance through flower-covered pathways.
The celebration originated in 1264 when Pope Urban IV formally established the feast, making Toledo's observance one of the oldest continuous religious festivals in Spain.
Five weeks before the main event, locals decorate the entire route with awnings, lanterns, and wreaths while windows display centuries-old tapestries and pennants.
Visitors can purchase reserved seating tickets at Plaza de Zocodover ticket booth to watch the procession that starts from Toledo Cathedral at noon.
The procession features a group of giants representing different continents, leading religious orders, guilds, and brotherhoods in their ceremonial attire.
