Dita e Verës
Dita e Verës or Verëza (English "Summer Day") is an Albanian spring festival and pagan holiday celebrated (also officially in Albania) on March 14 of the Gregorian calendar (March 1 of the Julian calendar), for the beginning of the spring-summer period.

In the old Albanian calendar, Verëza corresponds to the first three days of the new year (Albanian: Kryeviti, Kryet e Motmotit, Motmoti i Ri, Nata e Mojit) and marks the end of the winter season (the second half of the year) and the beginning of the "summer" season (the first half of the year) on the spring equinox (Albanian: sadita-nata), the period of the year when daylight is longer than night. Dita e Verës is a chief festivity in traditional Albanian religion, celebrating the strengthening of the Sun (Dielli) and the renewal of nature, also respecting the vegetation and the Earth (Dheu).

Dheu
Dheu (Albanian indefinite form: Dhé), the Earth, is the object of a special cult, important oaths, and curse formulas in Albanian paganism.

The Earth Mother Goddess or Great Mother (Magna Mater) is simply referred to as Dhé or Dheu in Albanian, and traces of her worship have been preserved in Albanian tradition. The Albanian noun Toka "The Earth" is also used to refer to the living Earth.

Zonja e Dheut (also Gheg Albanian: Zôja e Dheut) is used in Albanian to refer to the Earth Goddess.
