- It’s essentially a giant early birthday party. Though the exact dates of the pilgrimage vary from year to year, they always precede the traditional birthday of the goddess Mazu.
- It’s almost 300 years old. The Dajia Mazu Pilgrimage dates back to 1730 when a man named Lin Yongxing migrated from Meizhou to the village of Dajia (an easy 40-minute trip out of Taichung) bringing with him a statue of Mazu from the goddess’s original temple.
- The pilgrimage dates are determined by an ancient form of divination. Given what an auspicious occasion it is in Taiwanese Taoism, there’s really only one person who can decide when to hold the Dajia Mazu Pilgrimage: Mazu herself.
- You won’t go hungry. No one wants to walk 340km on an empty stomach, but fortunately, you’re unlikely to face that particular predicament. For those who don’t walk with the procession, it’s considered good form to honor Mazu by providing food and necessities for passing pilgrims.
