Fun Fact
Ever wondered...
... what the code-like messages written in chalk above doorways in Catholic-majority regions in Germany mean? They tend to read "20*C+M+B*20" (depending on the year) and are blessings left behind on a house by observers of
Dreikönigsfest, or the epiphany. On January 6th, children dress up as the three wise men Caspar, Melchior, and Balthasar, and go door to door singing and blessing neighborhood homes with frankincense.
