Prende
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Prende was a goddess of love in the Albanian folklore. She is the wife of Perendi and referred to in Albanian legends as zonja e bukuris ("the queen of beauty"), while her sacred day was Friday.[1]
When Albania became Christianized in the early Middle Ages, Prende was identified by the Catholic Church as Saint Anne, mother of Virgin Mary Albanian: Shënepremte or Prende, known in Gheg dialect as Prenne or Petka.[2]
As is usual in many cultures, here too Friday is the day sacred to the goddess of love.[3] The name is used today for Friday (e premte).
