Tin Hau Temple
Tin Hau – the Queen of Heaven – is honoured with the most prayers from coastal peoples such as the Cantonese, Fujianese, Taiwanese and Vietnamese. This goddess of the sea is also known as Mazu (or Matsu), a name which literally means '"mother ancestor".
The real person behind the goddess was a Song Dynasty girl born in Fujian province surnamed Lin (Lam in Cantonese). Legend suggests that she could have been a shaman with the power to save the lives of seafarers caught in storms and also to heal the sick. Popular beliefs say that she saved her father (and perhaps some of her brothers too) in a terrible typhoon by flying on clouds to pluck them from the sea.
