Location

A-Ma Temple is located on the southwest tip of the Macau Peninsula, is one of the oldest and most famous temples in Macau.

History

Built in 1488, the temple is dedicated to the goddess of seafarers and fishermen Matsu. A-Ma Temple, also known as Tianhou Temple, Juehai Temple, and Zhongjue Buddhist Temple, is dedicated to Ma Zu, a diviner who was from Putian, Fujian Province and lived in the Song Dynasty. As a child, Ma Zu showed a talent for predicting the future. She grew up to be nun and died at the age of 28. After her death Ma Zu's spirit helped seafaring merchants and fishermen dispel dangers on the roiling sea. Local fishermen in Fujian constructed the A-Ma Temple to commemorate her.
