Jade Mazu | Branch from Nanliao Nantian Temple, Suao
Wishing you peace and joy on the 23rd day of the third lunar month, the birthday of the Holy Mother.
The connection between Jin Huan and the Golden Mazu and Jade Mazu originated in 2020 during the Lanyang Mazu Cultural Festival when Jin Huan was honored as the vanguard. Grateful for the inspiration from the Heavenly Holy Mother of Nantian Temple in Nanfang'ao, a bond was formed. Before the 2023 Dou Guang Chao Zhen San Chao Li Dou Dharma Assembly, the Holy Mother of the Ancestral Temple mercifully granted continuous three "yes" responses from divination blocks, agreeing to consecrate a branch spirit to reside permanently at Jin Huan. Subsequently, during the Eastern visit to pay respects to the ancestral temple on September 17, 2023, Mazu was respectfully welcomed back to Jin Huan to reside permanently, blessing devotees with "fullness of gold and jade" and seeking "golden and jade-like good fortune in marriage."
Furthermore, the temple's blessed relationship with the ancestral temple extends beyond this. The Golden Ring Jade Mazu was carved from the same precious jade as the temple's founding Jade Mazu. Since the two Mazu deities came to reside permanently at the Golden Ring, an endless stream of devotees has been visiting to pay their respects.
