Sól: The light bringer

 Explanation:

Norse mythology sees four celestial beings that are part of the Æsir. The fiery Sól, who is the shining daughter of Mundilfari, personifies the sun. Her brother was Máni, the god of the moon. These siblings both drive a chariot carrying them across the sky, a common belief in the ancient world. Stories from both Greece and Egypt tell of sun gods carried through the heavens. In the early days of Ragnarok, the sun and moon are eaten by the wolves Sköll and Hati. These are a pair of Fenrir's children, and it is heavily implied that Hati will eat Sól and Sköll will eat Máni. The missing sun and moon are the signal that Ragnarok has begun, leading to Fimbulvetr; a three year long winter that leads to humanity's downfall. Sól is said to have married Glenr, the one who drives her chariot. The pair had a daughter, though her name is unknown, possibly Álfröðull or Sunna; these names, however, are also other names for Sól. Whatever her daughter might be called, she is said to replace Sól after Ragnorok settles, and burns brighter than Sól.

Worship:

Sól was widely worshiped, being seen as both a guide and one who nourishes life. She was celebrated around the solstices in particular, when day extends in the summer and night in the winter. In Norway, days around the summer solstice are about nineteen hours, and the nights during the winter solstice up to eighteen. The specifics of her worship are sadly lost, with the Christianization of Europe many old Pagan traditions were hidden and forgotten.

Conclusion:

Traditions that were held in honor of this goddess are still in place today, wIth the object of adoration having changed to saint John the Baptist. For this important role in the traditions of Europe, she should be known far more than she is today.
