Epiphany 2024 Chalk. A family would hold a short service of prayer to ask god’s blessing on their dwelling and on all who live, work with and visit them. A part of church history is the custom of blessing homes at the new year.

Technically, the epiphany is on january 6, but a lot of diocese move it to the first sunday after. Chalk is customarily blessed on january 6 by a priest using the rituale romanum, the feast of the epiphany (though nowadays typically only done by more traditional parishes).
