Traditional Corpus Christi procession in Bijelo Polje


The Feast of the Corpus Christi was celebrated with dignity this year on June 8th in Bijelo Polje near Mostar.

The solemn Holy Mass in the parish church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus was led by the parish priest rev. Rajko Marković, who at the beginning led those present to think about the mystery of Corpus Christi and called the faithful people to sincere repentance before God. In the appropriate sermon, he continued to reflect on the Eucharistic celebration, especially on the veneration of the Body and Blood of Christ.

After the Holy Communion, a solemn procession took place through the church yard to the sidewalk along the main road. At four points - the altars, the parish priest invoked God's blessing on all four corners of the world.

After the procession, this magnificent Eucharistic day for the community of believers was concluded with a solemn blessing and the song Do nebesa (To Heaven). After the blessing, the parish priest thanked everyone who participated in the organization and offered a prayer of gratitude at the end of the school and religious education year.

The liturgical singing was animated by the great choir of Bijelo polje, and with the sounds of the organ from the choir, the bells from the church tower and the harmonious singing of Zdravo Djevo (Hail Our Lady), the celebration of Corpus Christi ended.
