If you order before Thanksgiving, your signs should arrive before Christmas. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e**A little clarification…we created these signs to be used in conjunction with the blessed chalk, not instead of. There are many ways our customers do this. 1. They’ll use the blessed chalk on the exterior of the home and place the sign inside. 2. They’ll write with the blessed chalk on the interior above the front door and then place the sign over it (it’s often hard to see the chalk so they have the visual reminder of the sign). 3. They’ll trace the letters, numbers, symbols each year with the blessed chalk. There are so many ways to use the sign with the chalking tradition. And, for clarity, we did speak with multiple priests about the use of the sign and all have supported it. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Epiphany Home Blessing Sign is intended to be a permanent invitation for Christ's blessing on the home and all who enter. It measures approximately 16 x 6.25 inches, is made of layered eighth and quarter inch birch wood, and is finished in either dark walnut\/golden oak OR white and charcoal. The sign comes with holes cut from the wood for convenient hanging. The year numbers hang on a small nail so that they may be updated each year. Included with the purchase of this sign are the pieces for years 2026 - 2035. For our home, we will have our children trace the letters, symbols, numbers with chalk. We suggest getting the sign blessed, along with the year pieces. Intended for indoor use. Many customers prefer to use the blessed chalk outdoors and the blessed sign indoors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFREE U.S. SHIPPING!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Copyright Rough 2 Rustic 2016-2025 - designs may not be copied in any way without expressed permission from the artist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"\u003cspan\u003eEpiphany (also known as Twelfth Night, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eTheophany,\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e or Three Kings Day) marks the occasion of a time-honored Christian tradition of “chalking the doors.” The formula for the ritual — adapted for 2026 — is simple: take chalk of any color and write the following above the entrance of your home: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e20 + C + M + B + 26. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe letters have two meanings.
