Synopsis

Mazu Pilgrimage

The plot

Preface/

The patron goddess of seafarers, Mazu, is one of the most well-known deities among Taiwan and China. People believe that they would be blessed by worshipping the goodness. “Mazu’s Pilgrimage” is the annual event that her holiness set off from temple, touring to bless her devotees and expel evil spirits. Every year, more than 400,000 followers join this 9-days pilgrimage tour of this religious event in Taiwan.

Concept/

One after another, wars and chaos befall, green lands and forests burn, disease and illness attack. Unbearable, mother earth roars with counterattacks.

The Earth is crying, lands are crying, people are crying,

Down and hopeless… “Please let the world be peace, families be safe, our love ones be happy”, Shout with all the strength, and the wishes seem to vanish into the void.

We turn to Mazu and pray: for world peace, for safety, for good health. Hoping that her holiness would hear our prayers and shows her grace.

As an animator, I create this project with faith and prayers, and hope that all the blessings can be received by everyone through this animation.
