Imbolc Ritual
Pagan Student Group
Fri Jan 30, 07:30-10:00pm, MIT Chapel (W15), Doors close at 8 pm
No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Single session event
Imbolc is also known as the festival of (St.) Brigid, Candlemas, and even as Groundhog Day. One of the four cross-quarter festivals, Imbolc is the celebration of the first renewals of life in the depths of winter. The name comes from the Irish oim bolg and refers to the lactation of ewes in the snowy cold. At this time, we honor Brigid, a maiden-figure sacred to both Christians and Pagans. She is associated with healing, smithcraft, poetry, holy wells, and sacred fires. Join us as we light a candle in the darkness and celebrate the life of the coming year. Doors will close at 8 pm; late arrivals will not be admitted so as to maintain the sacred space.
