Imbolc - Brighid's Day

Friday ~ February 1, 2019

Beacon Heights Church of the Brethren

2810 Beacon Street

Fort Wayne, Indiana 46805

Join us in a celebration of the Celtic fire festival of Imbolc that bids farewell to Winter and welcome to Spring.  We also honor Brighid, triple goddess of fire, healing and poetry, who is a primal goddess and saint in the Celtic tradition.

 ~ 5:30 PM ~ Making of Brighid's crosses

These traditional crosses can be placed above the doorway to our homes as an invocation of the power and protection of Brighid for the coming year. As part of the ritual we will burn the crosses which were made last year.

 ~ 7:00 PM ~ Ritual begins

To honor Brighid, you are invited to share one of your favorite poems, songs, art work or any creative expression.

You may attend the entire evening's activities or only one part.

Freewill offering appreciated ~ Call 260-482-7402 for more information.
