Dear Faith Family of Our Lady of Grace,

Praised Be Jesus Christ…Now and Forever!

Epiphany (also known as Twelfth Night, Theophany, or Three Kings Day) marks the occasion of a time-honored
Christian tradition of “chalking the doors.” The formula for the ritual — adapted for 2022 — is simple: take chalk of
any color and write the following above the entrance of your home: 20 + C + M + B + 22. The letters have two mean-
ings. First, they represent the initials of the Magi — Caspar, Melchior, and Balthazar — who came to visit Jesus in
His first home. They also abbreviate the Latin phrase, Christus Mansionem Benedicta: “May Christ bless the house.”
The “+” signs represent the cross, and the “20” at the beginning and the “22” at the end mark the year. Taken to-
gether, 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.

The chalking of the doors is a centuries-old practice throughout the world, though it appears to be somewhat less
well-known in the United States. It is, however, an easy tradition to adopt, and a great practice whereby we dedi-
cate our year to God from its very outset, asking His blessing on our homes and on all who live, work, or visit them
there. The timing for the chalking of the doors varies somewhat in practice. In some places, it is done on New Year’s
Day. More commonly, it is performed on the traditional Feast of the Epiphany — the Twelfth Day of Christmas.
Most often the chalking takes place after Epiphany Mass, and can be done at any church, home, or dwelling. Tradi-
tionally the blessing is done by either a priest or the father of the family. This blessing can be performed simply by
just writing the inscription and offering a short prayer, or more elaborately, including songs, prayers, processions,
the burning of incense, and the sprinkling of holy water.

Practicing traditions like the chalking of the doors helps us to live our Faith more concretely and serve as an out-
ward sign of our dedication to Our Lord. Our homes are also the place where many of us will make the greatest
strides in our spiritual growth, through observance of daily prayer, spiritual reading, and work offered as an obla-
tion to God. The chalking of the doors of a home encourages Christians to dedicate their life at home to God and to
others. Seeing the symbols over our doors can help to remind us, while passing in and out on our daily routines,
that our homes and all those who dwell there belong to Christ. It also serves as a reminder of welcoming the Magi
gave to Jesus. We should strive to be as welcoming to all who come to our homes to visit us!

Epiphany Blessings to you and your homes!

Querida Familia de Fe,
Alabado sea Jesucristo... ¡Ahora y para siempre!

La Epifanía (también conocida como Noche de Reyes, Teofanía o Día de los Reyes Magos) marca la ocasión de una tra-
dición cristiana consagrada por el tiempo de ʺmarcar las puertasʺ. La fórmula para el ritual, adaptada para 2022, es sim-
ple: toma tiza de cualquier color y escribe lo siguiente sobre la entrada de tu casa: 20 + C + M + B + 22. Las letras tienen
dos significados. Primero, representan las iniciales de los Reyes Magos, Caspar, Melchor y Baltasar, que vinieron a visi-
tar a Jesús en su primer hogar. También abrevian la frase latina, Christus Mansionem Benedicta: ʺQue Cristo bendiga la
casaʺ. Los signos ʺ+ʺ representan la cruz, y el ʺ20ʺ al principio y el ʺ22ʺ al final marcan el año. En conjunto, esta inscrip-
ción se realiza como una petición para que Cristo bendiga esos hogares tan marcados y que se quede con los que habi-
tan en ellos durante todo el año.

La tiza de las puertas es una práctica centenaria en todo el mundo, aunque parece ser algo menos conocida en los Esta-
dos Unidos. Es, sin embargo, una tradición fácil de adoptar, y una gran práctica por la cual dedicamos nuestro año a
Dios desde el principio, pidiendo Su bendición sobre nuestros hogares y sobre todos los que viven, trabajan o visitan
allí. El momento para la tiza de las puertas varía un poco en la práctica. En algunos lugares, se hace el día de Año Nue-
vo. Más comúnmente, se realiza en la tradicional Fiesta de la Epifanía, el duodécimo día de Navidad. La mayoría de las
veces, la tiza se lleva a cabo después de la Misa de la Epifanía, y se puede hacer en cualquier iglesia, hogar o vivien-
da. Tradicionalmente, la bendición es hecha por un sacerdote o el padre de la familia. Esta bendición se puede realizar
simplemente escribiendo la inscripción y ofreciendo una breve oración, o más elaboradamente, que incluye canciones,
oraciones, procesiones, la quema de incienso y la aspersión de agua bendita.

Practicar tradiciones como la tiza de las puertas nos ayuda a vivir nuestra Fe de manera más concreta y sirve como un
signo externo de nuestra dedicación a Nuestro Señor. Nuestros hogares son también el lugar donde muchos de noso-
tros haremos los mayores avances en nuestro crecimiento espiritual, a través de la observancia de la oración diaria, la
lectura espiritual y el trabajo ofrecido como una oblación a Dios. La tiza de las puertas de un hogar anima a los cristia-
nos a dedicar su vida en casa a Dios y a los demás. Ver los símbolos sobre nuestras puertas puede ayudarnos a recor-
darnos, mientras entramos y salimos de nuestras rutinas diarias, que nuestros hogares y todos los que habitan allí per-
tenecen a Cristo. También sirve como un recordatorio de la bienvenida que los Reyes Magos dieron a Jesús. ¡Debemos
esforzarnos por ser tan acogedores con todos los que vienen a nuestros hogares a visitarnos!

¡Bendiciones de la Epifanía para usted y sus hogares!
