Mazu (Chinese: 媽祖; pinyin: Māzǔ; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Má-chú; Japanese: Maso; Vietnamese: Bà Chúa Khởi Nương) is a Chinese sea goddess widely worshipped in Taiwan, Southeast China, and among overseas Chinese communities. The name "Mazu" translates to "Grandma" or "Mother Ancestor" in Chinese, reflecting her role as a protective deity of sailors and fishermen. In Hebrew, she might be referred to as אלוהות הים הסינית (transliteration: Elohut HaYam HaSinait, meaning "Chinese Sea Goddess"). Mazu is believed to have been a historical figure named Lin Moniang, who lived during the Song Dynasty (960–1279 CE) and was known for her miraculous abilities to protect fishermen and sailors from harm. Her worship involves elaborate temples, festivals, and rituals, particularly notable during the annual Mazu pilgrimage. The deity is also revered in other cultures, such as in Japan and Vietnam, where she is known by different names and has integrated into local religious practices.
