Not really, because Candlemas is a Christian festival while Imbolc is a pagan celebration and the older festival. Candlemas is a more of a Christianized version of Imbolc, which happens on February 2, while Imbolc starts sundown from February 1 to February 2. The two ceremonies share some themes like cleansing and rebirth, but Candlemas is largely around the presentation of baby Jesus at the temple and Imbolc on the seasons.
