Zaria (goddess)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For other uses of "Zarya", see Zarya (disambiguation).
Zaria or Zoria is the goddess of beauty in Slavic mythology.[1] A once-popular goddess also associated with the morning, Zaria was known to her worshippers as "the heavenly bride." She was greeted at dawn as "the brightest maiden, pure, sublime, honorable." She was also known as a water priestess that protected warriors.[2]
Zarya (заря) is the Russian word for "sunrise," or "morning star."[3]
