What an amazing door! I wonder what your front door says about you? Does it suggest a
warm welcome, a place of Christian hospitality?
In many European countries there is a tradition of blessing one’s house on the 6th January when the arrival of the magi is celebrated. The doors or lintels are marked in chalk with the sign of the cross, the year and the letters C M B – Caspar, Melchior and Balthazar or Christus mansionem benedicat, “May Christ bless the house.”

Whatever house you enter, first say, “Peace to this house!” Luke 10:5
