Corpus Christi 2025: A festival of community and faith in Bonn!

Bonn, Deutschland - Today, June 19, 2025, the Corpus Christi is all about the presence of Jesus in the sacrament. As reports Bistum-passau.de, this festival is shaped by a moving procession that celebrates the faith and coexistence of the believers. The speaker, who speaks on this festive day, draws exciting parallels to biblical history and the people of Israel. He describes the city as a remarkable phenomenon and uses the Old Testament to explain the deep symbol of God's present, which served as the "strongest spiritual weapon" to conquer the promised country.

The Blessed Sacrament is carried through the streets during the procession, similar to how it happened in Jericho, where the people of Israel with divine help brought the walls of the city to collapse. The speaker refers to quotes from Jesus, who invite you to pray together during the procession train - especially for those who have lost faith. He underlines how important it is that believers are present in society and actively contribute to promoting dialogue, peace and willingness to serve.

a festival for all generations

The Corpus Christi service starts in the morning and is an open-air event that is aimed at large and small believers. This week the service takes place at 10 a.m. in front of the Münsterbazilika in Bonn, as reveals the erchbistum-koeln.de. City Dechant Msgr. Dr. Markus Hofmann will lead the celebrations, while a children's catechesis is offered in parallel to the word service in the basilica. Families in particular are invited to spend the day together and to experience the community.

Following the service, the city procession moves through the streets while the participants share their thoughts and prayers. Particularly noteworthy is the inclusion of ecumenism, where, among other things, the chairwoman of the ACK Bonn, Esther Runkel, who carries holy script and represent an orthodoxy representative under a balance.
