May 10th is for Mazu



When people talk about the major religions of the world today you hear nary a word about Goddess worshipers, but then why would you? They are at best a blip on the big “I believe” scoreboard right? What are they are few thousand? Perhaps very nearly a million if you fudge the numbers a bit?

Try over 300 million. Over three hundred million? Yes over three hundred million, you know the same as the population of the whole of the United States of America and that’s just the Goddess Mazu!

Also known at Matsu, Mazu is a Chinese Goddess of mercy and the sea and her main day of celebration is coming up this May 10 and May 23, good luck finding a card at even the largest Hallmark Card Shop at your local mall!
