Visualising folk religion and ancestor worship at A-Ma temple in Macau,China

This reflective visual essay interacts with the images included as I perused the grounds of the A-Ma temple in Macau on the southern coast of China. This essay is a response to seven images taken during this visit, accompanied by a brief overview of religious adherence and the historical practice of folk religion and ancestor worship in this region of the world. The lore behind the Temple of the Goddess A-Ma is given with a consideration of the practices of ancestor worship as portrayed in the images.
