Mokoš was one of the most popular Slavic deities.

The name of the latter can be translated as " Friday ", the day associated with females and female deities ; in Slavic tradition, it was devoted to Mokoš.

Probably because of associations with Mokoš, St. Paraskevia became one of the most popular and beloved saints in Russia ; it was said that she was the patroness of mothers, brides, and female activities such as spinning and weaving, and the protector of the waters ( Mokoš was somehow connected with waters, too, even her name itself means ' wet ').

Mokoš was the only female deity whose idol was erected by Vladimir the Great in his Kiev sanctuary among with statues of other major gods ( Perun, Hors, Dažbog, Stribog and Simargl ).

The worship of Mokoš was later replaced by the cult of the Virgin Mary and St. Paraskevia.
