The Feast of the Epiphany (January 6) has been, since the Middle Ages, the traditional occasion for blessing homes for the coming year. Perhaps it comes from the idea of hosting holy pilgrims such as the Magi or perhaps we are the Magi, seeking the new king, and the blessing reminds us that Jesus is to be found in our own homes.

We will mark the Feast as a church community on Sunday, January 2nd and have the opportunity to mark our doorframes during the service. We won’t be blessing chalk to use this year but, as a gift of God’s creation, chalk is already sacred anyway…and I know from experience that a tums tablet can be pressed into service in a pinch!

Download this short prayer (en français aussi) for us during the service or at a time that suits you!
