The blessing should read 20 * C + M + B + 15 In other words, one star (the star of David) and three crosses (the trinity). I wish I could understand your blog post! :-) Ami im Schwabenlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13148291164062226269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8775665740005660017.post-39490789722025220462016-01-03T17:30:31.532+01:002016-01-03T17:30:31.532+01:00Hello,

I copied the link of this post as a reference to the photo's owner and origin. I hope you consent with this use of your photo, as it shows exactly what was needed in my text about the C+M+B-blessing.

Apparently the Sternsinger go to _every_ house in our village. The local newspaper on the days surrounding Epiphany is full of photos of and articles about the groups of Sternsinger, and pretty soon they'll let us know how much money was collected in the whole state for the children in the Phillippines.Ami im Schwabenlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13148291164062226269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8775665740005660017.post-3079920185568477772015-01-09T15:19:54.241+01:002015-01-09T15:19:54.241+01:00I wondered about that, if this is a southern thing...I wondered about that, if this is a southern thing. I know Jan. 6 isn't even a holiday in the north, so it makes sense. I started this tradition in the school in Wisconsin where I taught, and when I visited in November I was happy to see the new German teacher has continued the tradition! The German students write the blessing on the door frames of the classrooms and offices in the school. It's a small Catholic school, so it was allowed.Ami im Schwabenlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13148291164062226269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8775665740005660017.post-5862654572309529802015-01-09T12:04:24.573+01:002015-01-09T12:04:24.573+01:00I remember being so confused seeing those numbers ...I remember being so confused seeing those numbers and letters written on the door of Marco's childhood home in Baden-Württemberg.
