Look up a deity's birthday
Pick a deity and a year to see the Gregorian date, or enter a Gregorian date to see whose day it is. Everything is calculated in your browser.
In "Deity → Gregorian date" the year is the lunar year, so sending off the gods in the 12th month lands in January or February of the next Gregorian year. Conversions use the same engine as the lunar calendar converter.
A common misconception
The Third Prince has only one birthday, the 9th month, day 9.
Some temples keep other festival dates; most in Taiwan celebrate on the 9th month, day 9.
Other deity birthdays
A straight word: this is a folk-religion calendar
Most deity birthdays are dates handed down in popular tradition, and temples and schools sometimes differ. We use the dates most common in Taiwan and work out the Gregorian dates carefully so you can plan ahead. For how to worship, follow the temple's own rules; many temples now encourage less incense and good deeds in place of burning paper money. We make no claims about efficacy, and everything here is for reference and entertainment.
