A Celtic Celebration
By Linda Tancs
The Festival of Imbolc is an ancient Celtic tradition celebrated with fire, commemorating the holy day of Brigid, the goddess of fire, healing and fertility. The fire symbolizes the increasing power of the light over the darkened winter months. Other world festivals likewise celebrate the coming of the change in seasons (albeit a bit later), like Las Fallas in Valencia, Spain. It’s a time of purification–so think about that spring cleaning!
