Imbolc (Imolg or Candlemas) is the festival of Brigid, the Celtic fire goddess who keeps the hearth fires burning during the cold dark nights. It is a time to celebrate the returning light and the first stirrings of spring. The lighting of candles is symbolic at this time to mark the return of the sun and the gradually lighter evenings. It is a good time to plan new projects for the coming year.
