When was Feast of Christ the King created?

Answer 1

'Christ the King' is a term that is used referring to Jesus Christ as king of heaven. It was first used before the crucifixion where it was used to describe jesus as 'King of the Jews' - used both, as examples, by Pilate at the trial (although Jesus disputed this - he said that his kingdom was not of this world...) and written on a plaque nailed to the cross to describe his 'crime'. However, it was used mostly - or at least implied - after his resurrection, especially by Paul, e.g. in statements like 'at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow' implying deference to him as King. In the revelation of John, the last book of The Bible, Jesus is implied as the 'King' who will come to judge the earth at the end of the world. In some churches crucifixes ( a cross containing a depiction of the dying Christ) are prevalent (especially in Roman Catholic churches this seems to be the tradition); in Protestant churches, a plain cross can often be seen - the empty cross symbolising Christ's resurrection. However, occasionally churches display something called a 'Christus Rex' (Latin for 'Christ the King') which shows a stylised Jesus on the cross, not in agony, but in triumphant glory - Christ the King of heaven. This Christ is usually depicted in priestly clothes, as the Great High Priest, and sometimes even wears a kingly crown. A search for 'Christus Rex' in goodle images will throw up many images of Christ the King. Another answer All your questions are answered. Go to whowaschrist.blogspot.com
Christ the King is a title of Jesus based on several passages of Scripture and, in general, used by all Christians. Many denominations, including Catholics, Anglicans, Episcopalians, Presbyterians, and some Lutherans and Methodists, celebrate, in honour of Christ under this title, the Feast of Christ the King on the last Sunday of the liturgical year, before a new year begins with the First Sunday of Advent (the earliest date of which is 27 November). The Feast of Christ the King is thus on the Sunday that falls between 20 and 26 November, inclusive (however, the Catholic calendar of pre-Vatican II had this feast on the last Sunday of October). The title "Christ the King" is also frequently used as a name for churches, schools, seminaries and hospitals.
