Guanyin is a highly revered figure in Chinese culture and mythology, often considered the East Asian version of the Virgin Mary. For centuries, believers from all around the region have sought her comfort during periods of sorrow, anguish, and terror. Guanyin is known for being more protective of women and children, showing special attention to feeble ones not as fortunate as other individuals. It is even rumoured that her powers are so immense that parents who are unable to bear children can conceive after praying to Guanyin.
