May 30

An important part of Norse mythology was the goddess Frigg. She is sometimes assumed to be a different verison of the goddess Freyja. We read that the Norse called the planet Venus, Friggjarstjarna, that is, Frigg's star. Freyja is sometimes depicted in a chariot drawn by two cats. May 30 is the feast day for the goddess Frigg.
