Matsu (or Mazu), is a deity initially worshipped in south China. Matsu is both a Taoist and Buddhist goddess. Matsu was a young woman with miraculous powers, including quieting storms. She was born in Fujian Province in 960 AD and died in her late 20s. There are over 1,500 temples dedicated to Matsu around the world, including China and Taiwan.. To enter the temple, you pass through a tall gate with three portals, made in traditional Chinese style. The Heavenly Queen statue is on an island; The statue was made in Nanjing, in south China. As is usual with Chinese temples, other deities are worshipped including Guan Yin, the Buddhist goddess of mercy, and Guan Yu, who is both the god of business and of war. You can recognise him by his red face. The god of wealth is also worshipped. The temple can be accessed from Hopkins St. Look for the signs..
