Chalking the Door: 20+C+M+B+YEAR Meaning
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 мар 2018
- Why do Catholics have the symbols 20+C+M+B+YEAR written in chalk on or above their doors?
This is a blessing of the home connected to the Epiphany.
20+YEAR = The year of the blessing.
+ = The Cross
C = Caspar
M = Melchior
B = Balthasar
The letters can also stand for "Christus Mansionem Benedicat" which means "May Christ bless this house."

My next door neighour has been doing this for years and I finally know what it means.
Thank you teacher. I will do that. BLESSINGS from Zamboanga City, Philippines
thanks, I grew up Roman Catholic in Texas and first time I learned this.
O COME LET US ADORE HIM...CHRIST THE LORD !
I have been practicing this tradition for many years now! It is nice to have a video which promotes this lovely tradition. Thank you! 🙏🏻
Thank you! I just received the blessed chalk at Mass this morning, and I will be chalking our doorway soon! Thanks for the lesson.
Very informative. Thank you.
I also read somewhere that we should have the chalk blessed by a priest as well. God bless 🙏🏼
thank you for good video
THANK YOU FOR EXPLAINING THIS. I THOUGHT THE PLUS SIGNS WERE JUST THAT.AND, I DID NOT KNOW CMB COULD HAVE TWO DIFFERENT MEANINGS. BOTH MEANINGS MAKE A LOT OF SENSE. I WISH I WOULD HAVE LEARNED ABOUT THIS PRACTICE WHEN I WAS A CHILD (NOW 67). BUT THANKS FOR OUR PARISH PRIEST, FOR THE PAST 17 YEARS HE HAS GIVEN US BLESSED CHALK AND TOLD US WHAT TO WRITE ABOVE THE DOOR.
This my second time for the evening, hearing of chalking the door. Never heard before, nor from ancestors or the Catholic church. I know now, thank you
Hi there! I did my chalking the other day as well and it was just lovely. I posted the video on my page. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks 🙏
Wow! Thank you. I have a small old picture of a priest holding a wand in a stable and on the stable door was a cross and cmb. Never knew what it stood for. The pic is titled 'the horse bewitched'.
Amen
Thank you so much for the wonderful explanation. I used to do it before without understanding what this symbol means. I wonder if I could use the blessed chalk over and over every year during the Feast of the Epiphany instead of throwing these blessed chalk. Although it is almost Lenten Season asking this question but I hope this will help me in the next year of Epiphany 2023. God bless.
Instead of chalking the door, we hang any Christmas cards that we receive that depict the 3 wise men over the doorways in our home.
I enjoyed learning this. My FIL mentions The Epiphany every year about this time of year and I was curious to see what that entails, along with the music that is used to Observe The Epiphany.
I’ve never heard of this!
My family just found this on all of our outside doors. In chalk, recently done and no one knows who. Weeeeiiiiird.
A true blessing. Someone really loves you.
Hi, which day should we do this? 1st of January or 6th of January? Cheers 🙏
I saw this in Germany
Can you chalk anytime of the year. If i want to today, can I or does it have to be done during the epiphany?
Do you rub off the previous years marking or just write above it?
Usually doesnt last till the next one
What could possibly be the reading of the temperature when people wear thick clothes or jacket
Where/When did this start? Is it taught in the catholic church? Is it in the catechism? Did some one just pull it out of thin air? Just trying to find more info...
Plss answer this question
Do it every Epiphany.
Get a holy traditional Priest to bless the chalk also beeswax holy 🙌 candles
I thought CMB stood for christus mansionem benedictus Christ bless this home
it is in the video and he talks about it
Where does it say that in the bible ??? Please KJV King James version
It doesn’t
This is a Polish tradition
Seems a bit like idolatry to me. Just say Bless this home or Bless Everyone who comes" or something like that. Using those specific letters to do that seems weird to me.
Where are the idols?
@@PaulTesta Read my comment again. The symbols are the idols
@@OHCAM5
Symbols are not idols.
@@PaulTesta Says who? Those symbols are IDOLIZED by the ones who use them.
@@OHCAM5
On what basis do you make that assumption?
this was not helpful
dont watch it
Amen
