Candlemas or St. Brigit's (or Brigid) Day is one of the four Celtic fire festivals which fall on the cross-quarter days, six weeks between the solstices and equinoxes. This day is also known as Imbolc. Candlemas is a time when the light of rebirth grows stronger. Brigit is the triple Goddess of the flame. Her fire was carried from the land of Brigantia on the British Isles to Kildare, not far from Dublin, Ireland. These fires were tended by the Daughters of the Flame, nine sacred Virgins who could be looked at by no man. Brigit's, fires are the fires of purification and healing. It is a time to purify ourselfs as we continue to emerge from the dark of winter.
