In this silent exchange fueled by a father's love, a unique piece of Taiwanese cultural heritage was being imprinted upon the child's memory. The Dajia Mazu pilgrimage reveals not only the power of faith but also the significance of intergenerational continuity and the greatness of a father's love.
