Mazu Temples-進香團










Mazu is a patron goddess widely worshiped in China's coastal regions and also Taiwan. A local temple in my neighborhood has a tradition of borrowing the goddess statues from six famous temples in Taiwan, so a tour to these temples is held twice every year. My mother would join the neighbors for this religious ritual.

Several years ago, I started going to the tours with my mother and documenting this popular folk religion event. The photos posted here are those I took in a recent trip.
