God's influence through a nun, a priest, a Eucharistic miracle, and a bishop is the reason we have Corpus Christi Sunday.  St. Juliana of Liège, Belgium, was a nun in the Middle Ages without any power or influence.  Jesus gave her a mission, through visions, to make the Church recognize a special feast for His Body and Blood.  At the same time, Father Peter of Prague, Czechoslovakia, was wrestling with just how real Jesus' presence in the Eucharist is.  While celebrating Mass, blood began seeping from the consecrated host. Father Peter brought this miracle to the bishop, who was aware of St. Juliana’s visions. That bishop became Pope Urban IV, who proclaimed the feast of Corpus Christi to the whole Church!   Eucharistic processions are the hallmark of celebrating the feast of Corpus Christi.
