Imbolc is a pagan holiday celebrated in Ireland, Northern England, Wales and Scotland. The Gaelic word for this festival is "Oimelc" which literally means 'the light of day'. It is celebrated on February 1st when the days are starting to lengthen after winter. During this time, people often cleanse the house and prepare for spring rituals by lighting candles and burning incense. Imbolc has its own specific set of rules on how it is celebrated but many share similar themes including purification, hospitality, fertility and blessings for the coming year.

The word Imbolc is a name given to the first day of February, when it is believed that Brigid, goddess of fire, light and healing, cleared the fields for planting. On this day people go outside at night to welcome Brigid with song and light. As part of what would now be called the Pagan celebration, feasts were held on this day in honor of Brigid who was associated with the hearth. These included cakes made from nuts and grains and breads baked without yeast.

Imbolc is an Irish pagan festival celebrated on February 1, which celebrates the life cycle of Brigid, a goddess in Celtic mythology. It is a celebration of light and fire and the return of light after winter. It is also known as Candlemas due to its connection with lighting candles at this time. In honor of her, it is said that Brigid had three foster children: Aengus (god of fertility), Lucht (god of poetry) and Bodb Dearg (a red-headed god). On Imbolc night, people traditionally make offerings to their homes and churches to welcome the winter solstice.
