Thanks Cristina, I chose you because you were first. The problem I had was that many English dont know what Corpus Cristi is (like me). I found out that it falls on the thursday before Easter Sunday.

the day before Corpus Christi day


Explanation:
Corpus Christi is a catholic religious feast which takes place 60 days after Easter Sunday. It celebrates the Last Supper and the Holy Eucharist. Normally on a Thursday. In some countries it has been changed to a Sunday due to agreements between the Catholic Church and the Government. Such is the case of Peru.
