| Holy See Temple in Tay Nihn |
While traveling 3 weeks
Relaxed Vietnam I did make a day-trip out of
Ho Chi Min City to visit the famous
Cu Chi Tunnels (sorry no photos) and the
Holy See Temple, at
Tay Nihn (80km northwest of
Ho Chi Minh City), the center of the intriguing
Cao Dai religion. Cao Dai is a syncretist Vietnamese religious movement that incorporates aspect of Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism and even Catholicism. The
Cao Dai Temple (as it is more commonly known) was build in 1933 in a unique architectural style that reflects its blended traditions. Following are some photos I took at the mid-day mass.
