Traditionally, Catholics bless their home and those who live in their household on the Feast of the Epiphany each year.

It’s not difficult to do and we highly recommend you give it a try! Here’s how.
Meaning of the Blessing 20 + C + M + B + 23
The letters C, M, B have two meanings. They are the initials of the traditional names of the three magi: Caspar, Melchior, and Balthazar. They also represent the Latin words “Christus mansionem benedicat” which means “May Christ bless the house.” The “+” signs symbolize the cross and the 20 and the 23 represent the year, 2023.

Prayers for the Epiphany Home Blessing
Lord God of heaven and earth, you revealed your only-begotten Son to every nation by the guidance of a star. Bless this house
and all who inhabit it. Fill them (us) with the light of Christ, that their (our) concern for others may reflect your love. We ask this through Christ our Lord.
R/. Amen.
The leader concludes the rite by signing himself or herself with the sign of the cross and saying:
May Christ Jesus dwell with us, keep us from all harm, and make us one in mind and heart, now and forever.
R/. Amen.

THE PIOUS PRACTICE OF BOWING AT HOLY NAMES

Pious practice of Bowing at Holy Names that has recently been lost, despite a great historical tradition in the Church, and that is actually, for all practical purposes, still a requirement of Holy Mother Church. This practice is namely the solemn, pious bows at the holy names of Jesus and Mary, as well as at the Three Divine Persons of the Trinity, and lastly at the name of patron saint of that particular day. This is especially true with regard to the Catholic Mass, but is not limited to it.

We are at the very least called to bow our heads at Mass when we hear the names of Jesus, Mary and the Holy Trinity, as they are invoked throughout the Mass. Various examples include in the "Gloria" when it states: "Domine Fili unigenite, Jesu Christe," ("Lord Jesus Christ") as well as in the end of the "Gloria": "Quoniam tu solus Sanctus. Tu solus Dominus. Tu solus Altissimus, Jesu Christe" ("For Thou alone art holy; Thou alone art Lord; Thou alone, O Jesus Christ").

This also includes whenever the names of Jesus or Mary come up in either of the readings for the day, including the Gospel as well as the Creed when we hear the words "Et in unum Dominum Jesum Christum, Filium Dei unigenitum" ("And in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God") and lastly and most definitely at the words "Et incarnatus est de spiritu sancto ex Maria virgine: et homo factus est" ("And was incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary, And was made man").*

Whenever you hear the "Glory Be" at Mass you bow your head from "Glory be to the Father, to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit." You also bow whenever you hear the holy name of Mary being said at any point in the Mass.

One hopes Catholics will pick up the pious practice once again of profoundly and reverently bowing iat the Holy names of Jesus and Mary, the invocation of the Holy Trinity, and when a holy saint is invoked at any part during the Mass. Such acts serve as examples to the world our reverence and our love for Holy Mother Church and ultimately for God.

*In the Traditional Latin Mass you kneel during this time. In the Novus Ordo, the proper norm is to do a profound bow. I personally believe the Church should re-implement kneeling during this part for the Ordinary Form, but this is beyond the scope of this article.
