==Legend==
[[Nehalennia]] is a mythological goddess of an ancient religion known around the province of Zeeland. Her worship dates back at least to the 2nd century BC,<ref name=livius>Lendering, 2006.</ref> and flourished in the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD.<ref name="livius" /> She was possibly a regional god, either [[Celts|Celtic]] or pre-[[Germanic peoples|Germanic]] – but sources differ on the culture that first worshipped her. During the [[Roman Empire|Roman era]], her main function appeared to be the protection of travelers, especially seagoing travelers crossing the [[North Sea]]. Most of what is known about her mythology comes from the remains of carved stone offerings ([[votive offering|votives]]) which have been dredged up from the Oosterschelde (Eastern Scheldt) since 1870. Two more Nehalennia offering stones have also been found in [[Cologne]], Germany.<ref name="livius" />
''[[Provinciale Zeeuwse Courant]]'' and ''[[BN DeStem|BN/De Stem]]'' are the regional daily newspapers in the province.
