St. Brigid’s Day/Imbolc marks the first day of spring in Ireland. A day when the Northern Hemisphere sets its eyes on warmer weather and the hope that spring brings. St. Brigid is one of Ireland’s three patron saints and her festival has become a celebration of Irish women. St. Brigid’s roots lie in the ancient Celtic festival of Imbolc, which translates to “in the belly of the lamb.” This references the first stirrings in the earth of the rebirth and renewal of spring. Please join us as we celebrate!
