| | Ziemassvetki - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Ziemassvetki celebrated the birth of Dievs, the highest god of Latvian mythology. | | | During the festival, candles are lit for Dievs and Martins and a fire is kept burning until the end, when its extinguising signals an end to the unhappiness of the previous year. | | | During the ensuing feast, a space at the table is reserved for Dievs, who was said to arrive on a sleigh. |

| | Dievs can be interpreted as (i) a unity: all that exists, transforms and remains, (ii) duality: the matter/spirit interface, (iii) trinity: matter, energy and the evolving, unifying and maximizing laws of the Cosmos/Visums and (iv) plurality: all the multifaceted and multifunctional deities of the Latvian Pantheon. | | | In the dualistic interpretation of Dievs, Mâra is the symbol of the world of matter — she encompasses all of the material existence. | | | In the triune interpretation of Dievs, the mediator between Dievs and Mâra is the Goddess of Fate, Laime/Laima. |

| | This apparent misuse of the term “ Sons of God” can be explained by considering the ancient usage of the word “dievs”: at one time it designated both the Supreme Being and the heaven. | | | Ancient Latvian religion is based on concept of one Supreme Being, known by the proper name Dievs (God). | | | On the Eve of Ziemassvçtki the feast starts when Dievs (God) is invited to sit at the head of the table. |

| | Dievs (who is the one monotheistic god and emanates the others as aspect of himself) | | | For example, there is no evidence that the ancients divided their deities into groups of three; in Dievturība, Dievs, Māra; and Laima are a trinity of fate gods and goddesses, for example. | | | It comes from god (Dievs) and will return to him after the death of the miesa. |

| | Dievs -- Encyclopædia Britannica |
| | Dievs and Laima, the goddess of human fate, determine human destiny and world order. | | | Because of peculiarities of the source materials, it is difficult to determine whether the goddess of destiny, Laima (from the root word laime, meaning “happiness” and “luck”), originally had the same importance in Baltic religion as later, or whether her eminence is due to the specific historical circumstances of each of the Baltic peoples. | | | As pictured by the pre-Christian Balts, he is an Iron Age Baltic king who lives on a farmstead in the sky. |

| | In such situations, Dievs seems to personify the rule of inheriting everyday life traditions, the idea of Dievs seems to summon reflections by common people who are closely related to nature and perceive themselves as part of a system created by some higher power. | | | Because Dievs - the God of Latvian peasants, although sitting on the top of the heavenly hill and ruling his possessions - is much the same as the earthly landlord and understands the peasant without sophisticated prayers and large donations (if a ritual meal on different occasions is not considered a donation). | | | The fact of Dievs being the Creator is testified to mostly by lexical data found in such phrases as Dieva dots ('Given by the God') and Dieva laists ('God created'), both of them being more connected with the wild, uncultivated nature, e.g. |

| | Dievins; - diminutive form of Dievs - the God, the a central figure in Latvian folk religion. | | | As Latvian folk religion cannot be discussed in terms of a hierarchy of gods, a subordinate position of Perkons (e.g., in magic spells or some legend types), its substitution by Dievs (e.g., in the legends, where Perkons takes care of people's welfare), can be regarded as a display of the Christian syncretism. | | | Although sometimes denoted with the same word - Dievins - each of the deities, Dievs and Perkons, maintain their own sphere of influence. |

| | DIEVS, DIEVINS (GOD) The Latvian name “Dievs” (“God”) is said to have originally meant “Sky”. | | | “Dievs” is the creator of everything — the universe, the Earth, humans and animals, the rules by which they must abide. | | | He often takes the form of an old, gray-haired man that walks over the world watching his creatures live, helping the good and punishing the bad. |

| | The Sun was one of the most important deities in Latvian folklife. | | | It gave rise to the noun deiwos, the name of a sky god. | | | When Christian missionaries were attempting to convert the pagan Latvians, they chose the name of the sky God, Dievs, to represent the Christian God. |

| | Whether it's making sure his cloistered sister (no, not Neherenia, an honest-to-god nun) is doing well, or that his littlest sisters are doing well in school, or making sure that Dievs hasn't walked off a cliff, Azu feels at peace only when he knows that the people he cares about are safe and happy. | | | Useful when, say, Dievs has set his hair on fire and there's not an extinguisher handy. | | | He also befriended Dievs, although early lessons in etiquette mean that to this day Azu calls him "oujisama." However, Az didn't lose touch with his family. |

| | Still, it is believed (as expressed by several scholars) that this deity is to a great extent a result of Christian syncretism, as proven by older dictionaries giving Mara as a translation for Maria. | | | In the dievturiba she is made the highest female deity - a ruler of the material world, a feminine counterpart of Dievs as the highest concept; one of the heavenly trinity (Dievs, Mara, Laima), with all the 'Mothers' being just her synonyms. | | | Stribingius mentions a "cow deity" by the name Moschel which appears to be just a corrupted form of Marsava. |

| | The Baltic divine twins have often been associated with the cycle of death and rebirth. | | | The divine or deified twins usually are demiurges, with various associated cosmogonic and anthropogonic functions. | | | Thus in Latvian mythological folk songs the theme of the sons of Dievs marrying their twin sisters, the daughters of Saule (the sun), is widespread. |

| | The concept of “Latvia” had only began to take shape in the minds of writers and activists and was used to describe all regions traditionally inhabited by Latvians. | | | The use of the word "Latvia" in the song was an open challenge to the Tsarist regime that had little sympathy for national movements. | | | The aim of this collection of lnni nazionali europei, (the National Anthems of Europe), which adds to the ever growing number, is to bring the catalogue up to date as a result of the recent re-stabilisation of eastern Europe. |
