Mazu the Sea Goddess
A Noble Soul Calms the Raging Seas
A girl named Lin Mo is born on the ancient island of Meizhou in Fujian province, and grows up living in harmony with the ocean. When an epidemic breaks out, taking the lives of countless fishermen, Lin Mo risks her life gathering medicinal herbs from the mountains to save the other villagers. One day, a tempest sweeps in. Legend has it that a young girl must be sacrificed to appease the Dragon King of the seas and calm the waves. To save the fishermen, Lin Mo throws herself into the sea, where she is transformed into a red ray of light guiding their way home. From this time on, Lin Mo is celebrated as Mazu the Sea Goddess, guarding the vast seas and guiding her people safely home.
