This is the 'something something Cao Dai Holy See' religion. Vietnam is the only place in the world that practices this religion. Can't remember the full name! It's a dying religion anyway, majority of its worshippers comprise the elderly, and I do mean OLD! They worship the great big eye, reminds me of the all seeing eye a-la Egypt. Or the one on the USD - same eye, I think.
The Eye
The only cool thing about this place is that it is so colourful.
The religion began as a way to unite the Vietnamese people during some war (hee hee, sorry lah, but this is a blog of my travels not history!) and basically, they worship all the gods and all the great people of most nations.
The Various Gods
The place of worship is one long hall, where the worshippers will walk in 2 columns - men on one side, women on one side. The senior worshippers are in coloured robes, whilst ordinary members are in plain white robes.
The worshippers
Looking for my shoes!
