Taiwan's Matsu Festival and Islands

Joseph returns to Taiwan to follow in the path of Taiwan’s Matsu Pilgrimage, said to be the largest religious procession in the world, and to explore the islands named in the deity’s honor. Joseph discovers that the islanders have weathered natural and political storms but, after decades of living in the shadow of war, they are ready to celebrate their historic, cultural and natural treasures.
