Instructions for Blessing the Home
Using the blessed chalk mark the lintel of your front door (or front porch step) as follows:
20 + C + M + B + 19 saying:
The three Wise Men, Caspar, Melchior, and Balthazar followed the star of
God’s Son who became human two thousand and nineteen years ago.
May Christ bless our home and remain with us throughout the new year. Amen.

A very nice collection Alice. That is some pretty hefty latch hardware on that first one too 🙂
Nice choices, Alice. I like the hardware on that first one, too.

Both my husband and eldest were born on Epiphany. Interesting post!
Glad you enjoyed it
I’ve not heard of this house chalking and think the idea wonderful. I will be looking for these markings in the next new year. Thank you for including the link for additional information.
