DID YOU KNOW? ☝️
Vietnamese people generally do not divide their faith into separate denominations. Most temples in the country are *Tam Giáo* (Three Teachings) temples, where three completely different doctrines coexist harmoniously under one roof: https://t.co/49nOS7KrEF

Buddhism (offering compassion and the concept of reincarnation)
Taoism (offering harmony with nature, magic, and feng shui)
Confucianism (providing rules of morality and respect for elders and the state).

Temples with giant skeletons instead of statues
After three years, the whale bones are carefully exhumed, washed with rice wine, and moved to a special temple known as *Lăng Ông* ("Temple of Lord Whale"). Instead of the usual gilded statues https://t.co/E5sINgYlNo

the altars in these temples feature glass sarcophagi containing massive whale vertebrae and skulls. Fishermen visit before every voyage to pray for protection against storms

A Royal-Style Funeral
If the body of a dead whale washes ashore, the entire fishing village observes a strict three-day mourning period. The fisherman who first spots the whale is considered the deity's https://t.co/LoIi27g7vJ

"eldest son": he dons white mourning robes and leads an elaborate funeral procession. The whale is buried in a special seaside cemetery

In coastal Vietnam, there is a religious cult that shocks Europeans. Vietnamese fishermen worship not only the Buddha but also actual whales and dolphins, respectfully calling them *Cá Ông* ("Lord Whale") https://t.co/b13BE68ABb
