Houses are traditionally blessed with Holy Water each year bringing the blessings of the Waters sanctified on the Feast of Theophany, the celebration of our Lord’s baptism. The priest brings this Water into the home to personally bless each family member and renew the awareness of God’s presence in our homes. A house can be blessed at any time, but the usual season for annual blessings is immediately following Theophany.
Members of St. John Chapel gathered together at the home of TJ and Diane to celebrate the blessing of their new home.
