Lots of people have chalked their doors for Epiphany - but what does it mean?

Mae llawer o bobl wedi rhoi sialc ar eu drysau ar gyfer Ystwyll - ond beth mae'n ei olygu?

#ChurchInWales #Epiphany
square graphic with text: "what is chalking the door?" Every year during Epiphanytide, many Christians chalk their front doors with the pattern of four crosses positioned in between C, M, and B, plus the year (e.g. 20+C+M+B+26). Bob blwyddyn yn ystod Gŵyl yr Ystwyll, mae llawer o Gristnogion yn rhoi patrwm o bedair croes wedi'u gosod rhwng C, M, a B, ynghyd â'r flwyddyn, ar eu drysau ffrynt (e.e. 20+C+M+B+26). C, M, and B refers to the traditional names of the Magi who visit Jesus in Bethlehem: Caspar, Melchior, and Balthazar. It can also refer to the Latin blessing Christus mansionem benedicat ('May Christ bless this house'). Mae C, M, a B yn cyfeirio at enwau traddodiadol y Doethion sy'n ymweld â Iesu ym Methlehem: Caspar, Melchior, a Balthazar. Gall hefyd gyfeirio at y fendith Ladin Christus mansionem benedicat ('Bendithia Crist y tŷ hwn'). The practice of chalking the door originated in medieval Europe, and it has since spread across the world. Sometimes priests will also bless the chalk that people use. Dechreuodd yr arfer o roi sialc ar y drws yn Ewrop ganoloesol, ac mae wedi lledu ledled y byd ers hynny. Weithiau bydd offeiriaid hefyd yn bendithio'r sialc y mae pobl yn ei ddefnyddio.

MN federal court finds DOJ’s argument “disingenuous:”

DOJ “object[ed] … that Magistrate Judge Docherty ‘did not review, analyze, distinguish, or even discuss’” cases decided the government’s way.
“to say that Judge Docherty did not review, analyze, or discuss this central issue is disingenuous.”
00355-MJD-JFD Doc. 11 Filed 01/25/26 Page 2 of 6 OBJECTIONS A. Respondents Objection This case is one of the myriad cases this District has decided recently addressing the issue of whether certain noncitizen detainees are properly detained under 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(2) or § 1226(a). The decision as to which statute controls Petitioner's detention makes a difference. If he is subject to § 1225(b)(2), detention is mandatory and he is not entitled to a bond hearing. If he is subject to § 1226(a), he is at least entitled to a bond hearing and may be entitled to immediate release. The R&R recommends that Petitioner's petition for writ of habeas corpus be granted insofar as Respondents be ordered to hold a bond hearing under 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a) before an immigration judge in Minnesota. (Doc. 8 at 3.) Respondents object to this recommendation, stating that their central objection to the R&R is that Magistrate Judge Docherty "did not review, analyze, distinguish, or even discuss the growing number of minority district court decisions" and decisions from the Honorable Paul A. Magnuson, who have found, on facts similar to the facts presented here, that noncitizens who were apprehended by ICE were "applicants for admission" under 8 U.S.C. § 1225(a)(3). (Doc. 10 at 2-3 (citing Arturo v. Bondi, No. 26-cv-00102 (PAM/SGE), CASE 0:26-cv-00355-MJD-JFD Doc. 11 Filed 01/25/26 Page 3 of 6 ECF No. 6 (D. Minn. January 22, 2026; Jose C. v. Bondi, No. 26-cv-135 (PAM/DTS), ECF No. 14 (D. Minn. January 20, 2026); Abdirahmaan G. v. Noem. No. 26-cv-34 (PAM/SGE), ECF No. 7 (D. Minn. Jan. 14, 2026); Bidye M. v. Kandiyohi Cnty. Jail, et al., Civ. No. 25-4791 PAM/EMB, ECF. No. 10 (D. Minn. January 16, 2026)).) Respondents also cite cases from districts within the Eighth Circuit that rule the way Judge Magnuson does on this issue. (Id, at 3.) "[Gjiven the importance of the question and recent developments in the caselaw," Respondents ask the Court to revisit the majority approach and give "serious consideration" to the Government's view. (Id. at 2 (citations omitted).) First, both this Court and Magistrate Judge Docherty have given "serious consideration" to the Government's view of this issue. Since November 2025, the courts of this District have thought of little else. Second, to say that Judge Docherty did not review, analyze, or discuss this central issue is disingenuous. The cases cited by Judged Docherty provide in-depth discussions of the issue. (Doc. 8 at 2 (noting that Respondents conceded that this case is like Santos M.C. y. Olson, No. 25-cv-4264 (PJS/DJF), 2025 WL 3281787 (D. Minn. Nov. 25, 2025) and Beltran y. Bondi, No. 25-04604 (MJD/DTS), 2025 WL 3719856, at *1 (D. Minn. Dec. 23, 2025)).) It is a grave error to confuse efficiency with lack of rigor.
