How to do an Epiphany Home Blessing

Did you know there’s a beautiful Catholic practice of having a home blessing on the Feast of The Epiphany of the Lord?

The Catholic Church offers a profound blessing liturgy to be celebrated by the head of the household asking for the intercession of the 3 Magi who left their homes to search
for the newborn Savior of the World!

Think of it: All year long, every time you pass through the doors of your home, you’ll be reminded that you are under the protection of God in His Angels and His Saints as adopted children!

This year, we want to make your Epiphany easy!

We’ll send you everything you need for this beautiful blessing with our Epiphany Home Blessing Kit!

The complete kit includes:

• Complete step-by-step instructions for the head of household to celebrate the Catholic Home Blessing (the prayers and actions to accompany the blessing)
• Holy Water Bottle (Holy water NOT included–they don’t like liquids in the US mail! Fill it at your parish.)
• Chalk
• Holy Heroes Mysterious Magi Map to help your family learn more about the Three Magi

This kit makes it so easy for you to incorporate this powerful blessing into your family’s Christmas traditions! One mom told us, “Every year I am scrambling around trying to find the necessary supplies for the home blessing. I’m so glad I have everything I need all in one place!”

Another mom said, “We are giving this gift to our family on Epiphany. The instruction and the Magi Map will be a great family discussion too.”

What is the Holy Heroes Mysterious Magi Map?

Based on research by Father Dwight Longenecker into what the early Church Fathers understood, historical sources regarding “magi” and the expectations of a new King of the Jews, and a thorough understanding of the 1st-century context of the Gospel writings describing “the East” and knowledge of the stars of the time.

Your children will be mesmerized and amazed (you will, too!) when you understand the reality and deeper meaning of the visit of Wise Men from the East to pay homage to the newly born King of the Jews!

What a wonderful thing for families to hang in their homes!
