TROHA The following blessing is for you to use to bless your house or apartment for the New Year. You can use it on January 1 to start the new year, or on the more Tina Ard Elyane Kramer traditional day for the blessing, the Feast of the Barb Malenkov Epiphany next Sunday, January 3. The explanation is Christine Ball rather helpful in understanding this blessing and what it Larry Brown Mary-Kathyrn Lorah means to us as Christians. Lori Butterfield Barb Malenkov Delores Distler Sam Mendicino Epiphany (also known as Twelfth Night, Theophany, or Three Kings Day) David Fennell Kathleen Murphy marks the occasion of a time-honored Christian tradition of “chalking the David Green Geri Rose doors.” The formula for the ritual — adapted for 2021 — is simple: take chalk Thomas Savage of any color and write the following above the entrance of your home: Diana Eisman 20 + C + M + B + 21. The letters have two meanings. First, they represent Mary Jane Galliher William Scordato the initials of the Magi — Caspar, Malchior, and Balthazar— who came to Donald Hantak Elizabeth Triozzi visit Jesus in His first home. They also abbreviate the Latin phrase, Joann Hlabse Nancy Vehr Christus mansionem benedicat: “May Christ bless the house.” Elizabeth Jones Barbara Walsh Bill Katsaros Leticia Sales Wilson The “+” signs represent the cross, and the “20” at the beginning and the “21” Sam Kovalak at the end mark the year. Taken together, this inscription is performed as a request for Christ to bless those homes so marked and that He stay with those who dwell therein throughout the entire year.

This prayer may be prayed on the traditional Feast of the Epiphany — the Twelfth Day of Christmas.
