Corpus Christi is a smaller affair in San Jose (Breña Baja) than in Mazo, but it’s still beautiful.
San Jose always celebrates Corpus Christi on the Sunday after Mazo’s celebration. Since the whole thing takes out on a flat, tarmaced street, the tradition is to make carpets of coloured salt, with the altars being much more modest. In recent years, many of the carpets are made from seeds and petals, like the ones in Mazo.
The carpets are made on the Saturday evening, and stay there until Sunday evening. On Sunday at noon, there’s a procession with the Host (the communion wafers, or Body of Christ) similar to the one in Mazo.
