Time: Apr 29

Homage is paid to Macao's most popular deity, the Goddess of Seafarers, from whom Macao is said to derive its name. The maiden A-Ma (also known as Tin Hau) ordered the elements to calm down when a storm threatened a boat. The winds abated. On the spot where the boat reached land, the grateful mariners built the A-Ma Temple. This is also the day when seafarers and their families visit the ancient temple in the Inner Harbour.
