We blessed the chalk....
...and took some home to mark our doors with the initials of the Three Kings....
...and asked Christ to bless our homes in the coming year.

MARKING THE DOORWAYS ON EPIPHANY
The Chapel Doors at the Friary
With blessed chalk, we put the new year and the initials of the Three Wise Men - C for Caspar, M for Melchior and B for Balthasar, on our doorways. CMB : Christus mansionem benedicat! Christ bless our dwelling!
The Magi left their homeland to look for Christ, and when they saw Him, they adored Him and offered Him gifts. Let us also look for Christ in order to adore Him and offer Him our entire selves.

EPIPHANY
The date of Easter and other feasts was solemnly proclaimed.
Chalk was blessed to mark the doorways in private homes with the New Year and the initials of the Three Kings.
Incense was also blessed for home devotons.
Water, which had been blessed the night before on the Vigil of the Epiphany, was made available today at Mass.
