~/corpus-christi
Instituted by Urban IV in Transiturus de hoc mundo (1264), the first papally mandated universal feast of the Latin Church, office by Aquinas. Absent from the East, which keeps eucharistic devotion inside the Liturgy rather than in a feast of its own.

The Cross is apostolic and universal; Corpus Christi is a thirteenth-century Latin institution answering a thirteenth-century Latin controversy. Age and reach both favour the Cross.
Widest gap in the scope. One is the event the faith stands or falls on; the other is a devotional feast of the mode of presence at that event's memorial.
A universal feast attested in every ancient calendar against a dated Latin institution.
The death itself against a feast of the mode of its memorial.
Neither is scripturally dated, but one is ancient and universal tradition and the other has a papal bull with a date on it.
Even a feast of pure doctrine outranks a feast of a devotional practice, since the doctrine is the reason the practice exists.
