Feast of the Epiphany


I love that children dress as the Kings, sing a little song and collect money for their charity. They also chalk your door with this traditional blessing. The letters C, M, B have two meanings. They are the initials of the traditional names of the three magi: Caspar, Melchior, and Balthazar. They also abbreviate the Latin words Christus mansionem benedicat, “May Christ bless the house.” The “+” signs represent the cross and 2018 is the year.
