Corpus Christi: A Celebration of Faith


Corpus Christi, derived from the Latin term meaning “Body of Christ”, is a revered Christian feast commemorating the Holy Eucharist.  Also known as the Feast of Corpus et Sanguinis Christi, it is a time when Christians worldwide come together to celebrate the profound mystery of Christ’s death and resurrection.  This liturgical celebration, also called Mass or Communion, embodies the sharing of Christ’s body and blood, symbolizing unity and the deep connection within the Christian community.

Indian Arrival Day: A Journey of Heritage


Simultaneously, we celebrate Indian Arrival Day, a significant day that marks the arrival of the first Indian laborers to Trinidad from India on May 30, 1845.  The journey of these laborers aboard the ship, the Fatal Razack introduced a new culture, enriching our nation’s tapestry.  This day honors the resilience, contributions and cultural heritage of the East Indian community, reflecting on the historical journey that has shaped the multicultural identity of Trinidad and Tobago.
