What does it mean?
The Festal Eucharist last Sunday included the Blessing of Chalk. The chalk is used for marking the church door and also the doors of our homes with Epiphany symbols, representing both our welcome of the Christ Child and, in his name, our hospitality offered to others in their journey through life, as it was offered on their journey to the Magi - the Wise Men.
The symbols are the year, 2014, and the initials of the traditional names of the Magi separated by crosses.
