Today marks the day of epiphany - the day of the Three Kings, the last day of Christmas.
Starsingers come to inscribe the initials of the Three Kings: C+M+B (Caspar, Melchior, and Balthasar), plus the year over doorways in German-speaking countries to protect house and home. Historically the three letters are supposed to come from the Latin phrase for “Christ bless this house” / “Christus mansionem benedicat”.
In many parts of Europe, including Austria, Germany, and Switzerland, the Christmas celebrations do not end until today.
