Page "Corpus Christi (feast)" Paragraph 14

From 1849 until 1969 a separate Feast of the Most Precious Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ was assigned originally to the first Sunday in July, later to the first day of the month.

This feast was removed from the General Roman Calendar in 1969, " because the Most Precious Blood of Christ the Redeemer is already venerated in the solemnities of the Passion, of Corpus Christi and of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and in the feast of the Exaltaton of the Holy Cross.

But the Mass of the Most Precious Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ is placed among the votive Masses ".
