Happy Imbolc

Category: Religion

Today is the pagan festival of Imbolc as well as being the Christian festival of Candlemas. It is the first Quarter day -half way between the winter solstice and the vernal equinox. Traditionally, if the sun shines today, winter is over, but if the sun is behind cloud, winter is still to come – a legend that has given rise to Groundhog Day.
