The common food item baked during the Imbolc festival in Celtic traditions is braided bread, often referred to as Brigid’s bread. This bread symbolizes the return of light and fertility as winter transitions to spring. Traditionally, it is shaped to represent the goddess Brigid and is used in various rituals. Families may bake this bread in the hope of good fortune and blessings for the coming year, marking the significance of the festival in honoring the transformative power of spring.
