The front door to your house is the main entrance to your home, a threshold.  You can bless all those who enter or leave by writing above the door the first two numbers of the year+C+M+B+ the last two numbers of the year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTraditionally chalk, which is blessed on the Feast of Epiphany, is used for this purpose. There are two theories for the meaning of the letters. The most popular tells us that they stand for the names of the three wise men: Gaspar, Melchior and Balthasar. The other says that it means \"Christmas mansionem benedicat\" which translates as \"May Christ bless this dwelling.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Michigan Church Supply","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":15353414811719,"sku":"WWQCAEINCENSE","price":4.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1978\/5271\/files\/Polish-Marking-of-the-Doors-WWQCAEINCENSE-Inspirational-Gifts-Michigan-Church-Supply.jpg?v=1722317024","url":"https:\/\/www.michiganchurchsupply.com\/products\/polish-marking-of-the-doors-wwqcaeincense","provider":"Michigan Church Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
