Reflection of the Week
The story of the Magi — the wise men — as recorded in the Gospel of Matthew makes several
facts very clear. We often focus on the gifts that were brought as examples of stewardship, and,
in truth, this story was certainly one of the inspirations for the giving that occurs at Christmas.
However, as is often the case, there is a deeper and more meaningful message found here.
When they found the child Jesus, they opened their treasures and they gave “Him gifts of gold, frankincense,
and myrrh.” They did not present the gifts to His parents; they presented them directly to Him. The baby Jesus
had no real need for these gifts, and we assume that Mary and Joseph used them in Christ’s behalf, to
support Him.
That is what we do when we give to the Church. Although our gifts need to be viewed by us as gifts to God,
we also must have a trust, which includes the understanding that those who will use the gifts will use them
wisely and justly. The Magi trusted that their gifts would be used in a way that was beneficial. We need to
have that same kind of trust. Most of all, we need to understand the importance of giving, of being good
stewards.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
Over the next few weeks, if you were to stroll around
Prague or Budapest or Kraków, you might see curious
grafitti scratched in chalk over some doorways:
“20 + C + M + B + 16.” The families dwelling behind those
doors have celebrated the Epiphany door blessing. They
have gathered before the feast-day meal, probably after
Mass, and the head of the family has traced the sign of the
cross on the piece of chalk. Standing on a ladder, the leader
traces the numbers for the new year, and the letters C M B
for Christus Mansionem Benedicat, Latin for “May Christ
bless this house.” The letters also point to the names that
tradition has assigned to the mysterious magi, Caspar,
Melchior, and Balthasar—although scripture tells us nothing
of their number, their country, or their names.
The blessing speaks of journeys ended and journeys
begun at the doorway, and prays that all journeys be as
satisfying as was the magi’s. It prays that the house beyond
the door have the quality of love and peace that the magi
marveled at when they at last arrived in Bethlehem. In some
countries where the Soviet Union tried to impose a harsh
atheism, the vigor of this household custom survived all
efforts to erase Christian customs. In the years of struggle,
the chalked blessings were a pervasive sign of defiance, and
now in the light of new freedoms, they are a sign of the
resilience of our tradition and the fulfillment of the magi’s
quest for meaning and peace.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
Es tiempo de añadir los reyes magos al pesebre. En 1448
llegaron los pesebres italianos a las iglesias españolas, pero
no fue hasta que el Rey Carlos III le regaló un pesebre a su
hijo en el siglo XVIII que el uso de pesebres se expandió en
los hogares. Desde entonces, el uso de nacimientos llegó al
continente americano en donde se convierte en la decoración
principal para las fiestas navideñas.
Así como en todo país latinoamericano el montaje del
Belén es una tradición, lo es también en Venezuela. Con el
pesebre venezolano llegan también aguinaldos, parrandas,
Misas y patines. ¡Sí! ¡Patines!
Desde la mitad del siglo pasado los venezolanos celebran
la época navideña con “patinadas”. Estas “patinadas”
normalmente se hacen por las mañanas y muchas calles están
cerradas a los autos hasta las 8 a.m. para que niños y jóvenes
puedan disfrutar de los patines, bicicletas y otros juguetes que
les regala el niño Dios. Por eso, muchos niños duermen con
un “cordoncito” atado al dedo gordo de los pies, que cuelgan
por la ventana para que los despierten los que pasan patinado.
