Week at a Glance
Did You Know?
That Epiphany was on January 6th. Epiphany is a significant Christian feast day that celebrates the arrival of the Magi (also known as the Three Kings or Wise Men) who were guided by a star to visit the baby Jesus.
To commemorate Epiphany, many of our classes participated in a tradition where the year and the initials "CMB" are written above each classroom door.
"CMB" serves a dual purpose:
- It represents the first letters of the names of the Three Wise Men: Caspar, Melchior, and Balthazar.
- It also stands for the Latin phrase "Christus Mansionem Benedicat," which translates to "May Christ bless this house."
Therefore, writing "20+C+M+B+25" above the door symbolizes a blessing for the classroom in the year 2025.
20+C+M+B+25
