A typical holiday in Sevilla: Corpus Christie

The Corpus Christi is a very popular holiday in Seville. Celebrated 60 days after Sunday of Resurrection. It's a very special holiday in the catholic culture.

The Corpus Christi started to be celebrated back to 1473. But it didn't get important until XVI century. The cathedral in Seville kept the tradition of taking out a procession made in silver that represents the body of Jesus. It parades around the city, that gets decorated just for it. On the balconies, people wait to see it parade.

People all over Spain and South America celebrate this holiday, but in each place it is different. They parade a sculpture that represents Christ's body, but it is unique in each city. Besides, it is celebrated in different days. In Seville it's on Thursday (this year the 7^th June) but on other places it takes place on Saturday or Sunday.

I have never been to the Corpus Christi parade. I really want to see it because I have been hearing about it since I was a kid. I'm really curious to know what it looks like and why it is so special.
