Summary[edit]
DescriptionChalked door for Epiphany.jpg |
English: Exquisite customs grace Epiphany. The most famous is the blessing of chalk used to hallow homes. On the lintels of the doors the priest writes with the chalk “20 + C + M + B + 09”, i.e., the year and initials of the names of the Magi indicated in Rituale Romanum: Gaspar (G and C being related), Melchior et Baltássar.
The names of the Magi are traditional, not scriptural and some ancient authors thought there were as many as 24. Some say “C + M + B” stands for “Christus Mansionem Benedicat… May Christ bless this dwelling”. Though clever, that’s probably wrong. I have never seen this in the UK. |
