Signs of the Cross:  chalking the doors of barns after the feast of the Theophany (Vadokhryshcha, January 19).  Ljubavichy 2012.

In the days following the Orthodox feast of Theophany, the parish priest visits houses and homesteads to bless the buildings and rooms and peoples’ barns.  Roman Catholics observe a similar tradition on and after the feast of Epiphany.
