Vesna is the goddess of spring and nature. In many Slavic languages today (Russian, Slovak, Czech, Slovene), the word "vesna" means "spring". One of the most favourite deities, Vesna was worshipped because she would bring life after death - after winter she would bring warmth, green fields, pleasant weather, flowers, joy into nature. Her biggest enemy was Morana, the ruler of winter and death. They would always fight in the wintertime, and Vesna would win in spring. However, their struggle was cyclical and never final - which brought the four seasons.

Vesna was never alone - she was accompanied by Gerovit, who always watched over her, and Stribog, the god of wind and air.

She is represented as a young girl in a white gown and with flowers in her hair, with big eyes and always filled with joy and always smiling.
