How to Bless Your Home on Epiphany
- Let this be a family prayer event. Gather all who live in your home together (and invite others if you so desire).
- Make the sign of the cross.
- “Let us pray: Gracious God, as a shining star once guided the magi to the birthplace of the child Jesus, so enable those
who dwell here and all who visit to be your light in the world. We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.”
- Read Colossians 3:12-17
- Using chalk, mark the current year and the initials of the Magi above the outside, horizontal frame of the doorway to your home.
Place a cross in between each of the letters. Wetting the chalk will make it easier to write with. It should look something like this:
20 C M B 19
- After completing the markings, pray the Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be and the following prayer as a household:
- Conclude by making the sign of the cross and praying:
May God bless us and keep us. May his face shine upon us and be gracious to us.
May God look upon us kindly and give us peace (Numbers 6:24-26). Amen.
Why do this?
Christians have found that this is one way to witness to their faith in Jesus Christ. The crosses indicate that your house is a
Christian home. The initials C-M-B r epr esent the legendar y names of the Magi: Caspar, Melchior & Balthasar. The C-M-B
also stands for the Latin words Christus Mansionem Benedicat which translates: “May Christ bless this dwelling place.” When
visitors ask about the markings above your door, you can explain the above to them and so you will be giving a witness to Christ.
The markings are left all year and then renewed on the next Epiphany.Our 7th Annual

La Epifanía del Señor
Las palabras que el profeta Isaías dirige a la ciudad santa de
Jerusalén nos invitan a levantarnos, a salir; a salir de nuestras
clausuras, a salir de nosotros mismos, y a reconocer el esplen-
dor de la luz que ilumina nuestras vidas: «¡Levántate y resplan-
dece, porque llega tu luz; la gloria del Señor amanece sobre
ti!». «Tu luz» es la gloria del Señor. La Iglesia no puede pre-
tender brillar con luz propia, no puede. San Ambrosio nos lo
recuerda con una hermosa expresión, aplicando a la Iglesia la
imagen de la luna: «La Iglesia es verdaderamente como la lu-
na: […] no brilla con luz propia, sino con la luz de Cristo. Re-
cibe su esplendor del Sol de justicia, para poder decir luego:

mí”». Cristo es la luz verdadera que brilla; y, en la medida en
