Benediction in the Crib
On Saturday we held our traditional Epiphany procession, followed by Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament in the Crib.
We began with the blessing of Epiphany chalk:
The inscription "20 C + M + B 16" is written above the door: "Christus Mansionem Benedicat" - "Christ bless this house", or "Caspar, Melchior and Balthasar".
Chalk is available at the back of church to take home and write the same blessing above your doors.

The Kings and the Star arrive at the Crib:
Come let us adore Him:
