Mazu, also known as Tianhou (Heavenly Empress), originated in the 10th century during the Song Dynasty in China. According to folklore, she was born as Lin Moniang on the island of Meizhou, off the coast of Fujian province. Born into a humble fishing family, Lin Moniang displayed extraordinary powers and compassion from a young age. She possessed the ability to predict weather patterns and sea conditions, guiding fishermen safely back to shore during treacherous storms.

Princess of Supernatural Favor, Empress of Heaven, Goddess of the South China Sea - these are just a few of the illustrious titles given to the Chinese goddess Mazu (Mat-su) since her incursion into the Chinese, Taiwanese, and Southeast Asian pantheon in the 11th century AD.
