	Dievs
		Dievs ("god") is the supreme deity of the Latvians, with the same position Zeus has in Greek religion.
		Dievs is the most frequently mentioned Latvian deity (counting all the usage of the word), and a sky and fertility god.
		Either because of predominance of Christianity or any other reason in accounts of Latvian religion in the Middle Ages, the leading position is given to Perkons ("thunder").

	Dievs
		In ancient Latvia, Dievs was not the just the father of the gods, he was the essence of them -- every other deity was a different aspect or manifestation of Dievs; this is most true with Mara and Laima.
		Dievs was a god of the sky and fertility.
		In art, Dievs is an ancient man with a long white beard.

	sciforums.com - Latvian Paganism
		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.
		Dievs was depicted as a handsome man in a robe of silver with matching cap, his clothes adorned with pendants, carrying a sword.
		Since Dievs is the Father by definition, including the Cosmos and all parts of Earth, Dievadeli, who are the manifestations of the Earth's aspects and Cosmic phenomena, must be his Sons or subordinates.

	Eurasian World Trees
		Dievs, the pre-Christian Baltic name for God, was used by Christian missionaries (and still is) to denote the Christian God.
		Dievs' family is a later development; in the family, Dieva deli ("God's Sons") play the primary role.
		Besides such anthropomorphic characteristics, another characteristic that gives Dievs a universal significance may be observed: he appears as the creator of order in the world on the one hand, and as the judge and guardian of moral law on the other.

	Dievturiba
		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.
		Dievs (who is the one monotheistic god and emanates the others as aspect of himself)
		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.
		Dievs is a wooer of Saule, the sun.
		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.

	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.
