Fiann Ó Nualláin reflects on the customs and celebrations associated with Saint Brigid's Day. To some that means Lá Fhéile Bríde or a Christianised Saint Brigid’s Day and to others it is Imbolg.

IMBOLGImbolg is actually one of those moveable festivals, being a cross-quarter day marking the midpoint between the winter solstice and the spring equinox.
