To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

One day, in the town of Bolsena, in the Church of Saint Christina, he was saying his Mass ; and in the moment of consecration, saw blood fall from the wafer into the chalice. He hastened to tell the story of the miracle to the pope, then residing at Orvieto. The wondrous wafer was brought thither, and the Cathedral of Orvieto built as its shrine.
Solemn annual processions in honour of the Eucharist became the universal rule, the festival of Corpus Christi or Body of Christ becoming one of the m
...ost popular of the Middle Ages.
St. Thomas Aquinas drew up an office for the 132 Corpus Christi day, and the progress of the Sacrament through the streets was attended with every possible mark of honour and jubilation. Flowers were strewn before the host, which was borne under a splendid canopy, and surrounded by incense and lights.
In France, the feast is known as the Fete Dieu. Its demonstrations were abolished at the Revolu- tion ; and again, under the present government, they have been confined to the precincts of the churches, but the devotion still has a strong hold on the populace.
