Happy Imbolc to everyone celebrating 💚
#Imbolc is a Gaelic festival set at the midway point between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox. It is an agricultural festival celebrating the lambing season and the imminent return of Spring.
This is the first year where Imbolc will be a public holiday in the Republic of #Ireland.
