Feast of the Epiphany

On Epiphany Sunday, our family has continued a tradition of reciting a blessing and marking the lintel of every doorway in our home (usually with chalk) indicating the year and the initials of the wise men (Caspar, Melchior and Balthazar): 20 C M B 15. (Photo to the right is from a few years ago!) CMB also stands for Christus Mansionem Benedicat, Latin for ���May Christ Bless this House.���

For more information on this beautiful tradition, the following website has some great readings and more information on this beautiful blessing:
