St. Matilda, Queen, and Blessed Eva of Liège, promoter of Corpus Christi
Today, March 14, the liturgy celebrates St. Matilda, queen, wife of King Henry I, in the lands of the future Germany (10th century), and Blessed Eva of Liège, friend of St. Juliana. Both sought from Pope Urban IV the extension of the solemnity of Corpus Christi to the whole Church. Blessed Eva helped St. Juliana, and the Pope announced the feast in 1264.
