To the people of Macau, whose history is deeply linked with the sea, her festival is one of the most important of the year. The history of the goddess of the sea goes back to around 1044 AD when in Fukien province, about 350 miles north of Macau, the wife of a poor fisherman named Lin, gave birth to a baby girl. At the time of the birth a red glow was seen over the house and the baby grew to be the most remarkable child - she never cried, worked hard and was obedient and devout.
