The people in certain churches take the bread and wine while sitting in the pews; in others, they receive communion before the altar or holy table in the front of the church. The body of Christ has its own feast day known as Corpus Christi, and churches and other institutions can be dedicated to it instead of a [[saint]]; examples are Corpus Christi College in [[Cambridge]] and Corpus Christi, [[Texas]].<ref>The United States Navy Department generated a storm of controversy when it proposed "Corpus Christi" (Latin "Body of Christ") as the name for a newly commissioned, nuclear-armed, attack submarine, apparently intending the name in honor of the [[Corpus Christi|city in Texas]], originally dedicated to God in the 16th century by Christian monks and missionaries who established a church and a mission there. After much debate and discussion and protest from Roman Catholic Bishops and Catholics in general, and some intercession by Representatives and Senators in the United States Congress, and the State Department in discussions with the [[Holy See|Vatican]], President [[Ronald Reagan]] in 1984 revised the name of this military submarine to "''USS City of Corpus Christi''", which laid the controversy to rest.
