The Magi have now appeared in the Christmas Crib at Blackfen...
To celebrate, this evening we had a Missa Cantata. Mass IV, Credo I. And We three kings was sung while the sanctuary was being prepared for the blessing of the Epiphany chalk.
I duly inscribed 20 C + M + B 14 above my door when I got home. Annie Elizabeth beat me to it, and has posted a picture already. I had to stretch to reach a spot where the chalk would "take" and my dodgy knees made me wobble, so my writing is all crooked, hence the lack of a photo. Very shaming for a teacher! I might re-do it tomorrow...
Photos from the Mass and the blessing of Epiphany chalk can be seen on my Flickr page.
Buonaa festa to you too,Mac! The Mass was beautiful, but sorry not to have said hello. Rushed back to do the chalk. Fr Tim was rather scathing at my suggestion that I just change the 3 to 4!
