Now we see the first signs of life returning to the land, the first buds on the trees, the first flowers poking through the frozen earth.
The sheep are in lamb and in some areas the first lambs have already been born, so we know that spring will come again.

At this time, the Goddess changes from Crone to Maiden, full of hope an promise of life to come, and we celebrate her return with candles, hence the modern Candle mass.

Imboc is also the feast of the Irish Fire Goddess Bride, known as Brigantia to the Celtic Britons and Bridget when she was christianized.

The colours of the season are white and yellow for the Goddess and light green for the God, who is once more young and carefree.
