Lucina Roman An ancient Italian goddess of light and childbirth. Poets tell of Lucina presiding over the birth of animals and plants as well as humans. Women called upon her while struggling through labor pains. The stories of Eileithya, the Greek goddess of childbirth, were attributed to Lucina. Her traits and responsibilities in Roman religion were eventually blended into the goddess Juno, who was also associated with light and childbirth.
