203rd Anniversary of the Mazu Pilgrimage to 18 Villages in Hanxi: Praying for Peace and Abundance

Mazu, the Goddess of the Sea, embraces us with her compassionate heart and protects our community from hardship and adversity. Under her divine blessings, our land has been bestowed with abundant harvests, thriving population, harmonious neighborhoods, prosperous finances, and overall well-being.

The tradition of the "Mazu's Pilgrimage to 18 Villages" can be traced back 203 years, making it one of the most iconic cultural festivals in our region. Every year on the first day of the third lunar month, we hold the "Mazu's Pilgrimage to 18 Villages: Praying for Peace and Abundance" event, where Mazu's sacred palanquin is carried through 18 villages, seeking her blessings. This year, the pilgrimage will take place from April 9th to April 30th.

We are deeply honored that our company has been selected as a resting point along this year's pilgrimage route. As the procession passes through, the local residents will devoutly pay homage to Mazu, and they will be treated to traditional performances of dragon and lion dances, firecrackers, drumming, and gongs, all in the hope of receiving the deity's protection and good fortune. It is a rare privilege for our company to host Mazu's palanquin and for our employees to reverently worship the Goddess, praying for their dreams to come true.

This event not only celebrates our region's rich cultural heritage but also serves as a powerful symbol of community unity and the shared blessings of the divine. We are grateful for the opportunity to participate in this sacred tradition and to share it with our colleagues and the wider community. Let us come together to honor the compassionate Mazu, and may her blessings continue to guide and protect us all.
