THE EPIPHANY OF THE LORD
EPIPHANY TRADITION
As we celebrate the Feast of the Epiphany, it is customary to bless your
homes and apartments with the blessing of the Three Wise Men. After sprinkling the rooms of your house with
holy water, pray these or similar words:
“May God bless this house and all
who live here and all who enter within these walls throughout this New Year.” Then mark with blessed chalk the top
of the main doors (front & back) of your home with the inscription:
20 + K + M + B + 08
This symbolizes the
New Year 2008 and the traditional names of the Three Wise Men: Kasper, Melchior and Balthasar, asking them
to give you safe passage to and from your home throughout the New Year.
Envelopes containing
blessed incense and blessed chalk for this Epiphany Tradition are available in the
Sanctuary.
