Dappled in candlelight and illuminated by a big Chinese lantern, a dancer with joss sticks in hand playing the part of Mazu, goddess of the sea, writhes ever so slowly forward, like a movie in slow motion. It is a dance of thanksgiving to the gods for a year of favorable weather and prosperity.
朵朵燭光綴飾中，拿著香柱扮飾媽祖的舞者，在寫著「醮」字的大頭燈籠照領下，帶引著信徒、乩童，以猶如電影慢轉般地緩解著肢體蠕緩前行，感謝上天賜予整年的風調雨順、國泰民安。
