  1. C M B = Latin abbreviation for “May Christ Bless this house”.

    On Jan 6th, so-called “Sternsinger” come around to catholic homes. The house gets blessed with the above and the people give a bit of money to charity.

  2. It’s a sign left by an organisation which utilises children to get money from the occupier each year. The sign is only left if the occupier handed over some money. This helps to identify doors where people might be willing to pay in the next year.

  3. It means “halt, demons, you may not enter here!”.
