What Is Imbolc?

February 1st marks the Irish holiday Imbolc, the first day of spring in the ancient Gaelic calendar. It is an especially important day to us because it was the holiday celebrating Brigid, the Irish goddess of the dawn. Imbolc endures today as "Saint Brigid's Day", or Lá Fhéile Bríde in Irish, and in 2023, was made an official public holiday in Ireland.
