God brought me here because im planning to do this with my family for the first time today, when we went to church today a good friend gave me the epiphany chalk. Better late than never i suppose since I just learned about this after the Epiphany this year. Thank you for this 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
Thanks for the explanation, which I'm just adding a little. The second explanation - the Latin text Christ bless this house is correct. The first is a more popular custom in languages that call the first king Caspar, In some languages the initial of the king's name does not correspond to the letter C.
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'.
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.
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.
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...
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.
Thank you for this simple yet beautiful explanation of how to bless our homes. God Bless 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.
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.
I have been practicing this tradition for many years now! It is nice to have a video which promotes this lovely tradition. Thank you! 🙏🏻
My next door neighour has been doing this for years and I finally know what it means.
Thank you God🙏
O COME LET US ADORE HIM...CHRIST THE LORD !

thank you for good video
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.
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
Very informative. Thank you.
I also read somewhere that we should have the chalk blessed by a priest as well. God bless 🙏🏼
Thanks 🙏
Btw great presentation, thank you. 🙏🏼🕊️🙏🏼

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’ve never heard of this!
Amen
Thank You!

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.
I saw this in Germany
When is the ending of blessing the house because I never heard of this before
Hi, which day should we do this? 1st of January or 6th of January? Cheers 🙏
January 6
I dont have blessed chalk. Can I use pencil?
The chalk should be blessed.
What could possibly be the reading of the temperature when people wear thick clothes or jacket
Do it every Epiphany.
I thought CMB stood for christus mansionem benedictus Christ bless this home
it is in the video and he talks about it
Do you rub off the previous years marking or just write above it?
Usually doesnt last till the next one
Can you chalk anytime of the year. If i want to today, can I or does it have to be done during the epiphany?
Where in the scripture specified the chalking of the door as a practice taught by Jesus Christ?
Scriptures"
Plss answer this question
This is a Polish tradition
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...
Where does it say that in the bible ??? Please KJV King James version
It doesn’t
Get a holy traditional Priest to bless the chalk also beeswax holy 🙌 candles

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
this feels so pagan
@hannahsyoutubeaccount99 Can I ask, why does it seem pagan to pray a blessing over our homes?
Thank you.
Amen
