Stone carving of the goddess Matrona Stone carving of the goddess Matrona
In Celtic mythology , Dea Matrona ('Divine Mother') was the goddess who gives her name to the river Marne (ancient Matrŏna [1] Gaul .
The Gaulish theonym Mātr-on-ā signifies 'Great Mother'[2] mother goddess .[2] [3]
Many Gaulish religious images—including inexpensive terracotta statues mass-produced for use in household shrines —depict mother goddesses nursing babies or holding fruits, other foods, or small dogs in their laps. In many areas, such Matronae were depicted in groups of three (or sometimes two)[4] Matres and Matronae for the triads of mother goddesses well attested throughout northern Europe).
The name of Welsh mythological figure Modron , mother of Mabon , is derived from the same etymon (and Mabon has a cognate in Gaulish Maponos ).[5]
