In Poland the Christmas season ends with Epiphany on January 6. On this day people blessed their homes by writing the initials of the Three Kings, or Magi, over their front doors with blessed chalk. These initials, KMB, come from the names most often associated with them in folklore: Kaspar (or Caspar), Melchior, and Balthasar.
