Attending the memorial service were representatives of Vinh city leaders and a number of departments and branches.
According to Vietnamese folk legend, Holy Mother Lieu Hanh is one of the "Four Immortals" and has been awarded many royal decrees by feudal dynasties from the Le to the Nguyen dynasties, honored as "Mother of the world - Mother of all people", and is worshiped and honored by people all over the country.
In Vinh city, there are many relics worshiping the Holy Mother, but due to time and many historical ups and downs, the relics were heavily damaged. With deep affection and strong faith, the city people moved the entire system of statues of the Mother Temple to Hong Son Temple to unite the worship.
