Imbolc or Imbolg (pronounced i-MOLK or i-MOLG ), also called (Saint) Brighid’s Day (Irish: Lá Fhéile Bríde, Scottish Gaelic: Là Fhèill Brìghde, Manx: Laa’l Breeshey), is a Gaelic festival marking the beginning of spring. Most commonly it is held on the 1st of February, or about halfway between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox. Christians observe it as the feast day of Saint Brighid, especially in Ireland.
