The corporal, a square piece of linen, is a sacred object used in Catholic worship. Its plain white fabric, typically made of fine linen or cotton, is used in liturgy during the Eucharistic celebration. Placed on the altar, it receives the consecrated bread and wine. Its symbolic meaning is purity and reverence, representing the body of Christ. After the Mass, the corporal is carefully cleaned and stored. Its simple appearance belies its profound role in Catholic worship.
