The Dajia Mazu started her visit to Chia Yi FonTen temple last night.
I saw the followers walking in  the parade with their deepest belief in the Goddess.
Thge scene touched me deeply inexplicitably.

I think of the festivity in my hometown Bei Kong to celebrate the birth of Mazu in March 19th the lunar calendar.
It is also as specila as the parade of Dajia Mazu.
All the people all spare no effort to celebrate the day in the town.
However, as more and more people move to the city for work, the spectacular occation seems no longer exist .

It's a special tradition in Taiwan that we have to preserve the culture with all our effort.
The ritual is a magnificent strenght to maintain the agglomerate of people.
