Traditional Epiphany House Blessing-2026

The visit from the Wise Men blessed the home of the Holy Family because they came in humility to honor and pay homage to the Christ Child and because they were the first to not only seek Jesus, but also to recognize Him as the Messiah.

The Epiphanytide practice of household blessing serves to protect Christian homes from evil spirits until the next Epiphany Day, at which time the custom is repeated.

Please contact your Chaplain, Fr Young if you would like to have your house scheduled to be blessed this Epiphanytide.
