In some parts of Germany, Corpus Christi (Fronleichnam in German) is a public holiday celebrated on the second Thursday after Pentecost (19th of June). Fronleichnam has Catholic roots and commemorates the presence of Christ in the Eucharist. In many regions, you’ll see festive church services and colorful processions, with flower carpets and banners lining the streets. It’s a unique mix of solemn tradition and local celebrations. For others, it’s just a long weekend to enjoy the early summer vibes. Please note: Shops and supermarkets may be closed on this day – so don’t forget to stock up! <https://magazines.rwth-aachen.de/files/images/content_newsletter/piktogramme_png/PIK_0083_petrol_digital_rgb.png> <mailto:bebuddy@rwth-aachen.de> BeBuddy-Stammtisch (regulary Meetup) Buddies and Mentees are invited once again to meet up, connect and enjoy a nice evening together.
