After the Service on Epiphany Sunday Shemil, who took the Service, wrote an inscription on the Church door in Chalk. This is an centuries old custom which we have followed at Epiphany for the last few years. The patteren of the inscription is 20 and 26 represent the year, the + signs symbolise the Cross of Christ and the C, B and M have a dual meaning – the initials of the Three Wise Men (Caspar, Melchior and Balthasar) or the Latin phrase Christus Mansionem Benedictat which translates as “May Christ Bless this House”.

The photos below show the inscription and Shemil writing it.
