In honor of the Epiphany of the Lord, also known as Three Kings Day, schools in the Diocese of Camden celebrated by having children dress up as the three wise men and by taking part in Masses, prayer services and special classroom activities. Above, Our Lady of Mount Carmel Regional School, Berlin, students write above classroom doorways a traditional Epiphany blessing – “Christus mansionem benedicat” (“May Christ Bless this House”) and the date, 20+C+M+B+24. Another explanation of the C, M and B is that they refer to the names of the three wise men: Caspar, Melchior and Balthazar.
