Other than the Goddess of Mercy Stone which attracted people to pray at the quarry on the island, there is this German Girl Shrine where people go to pray too. I din managed to visit the shrine the last time I was there. So this time round I’ve decided to visit it.
German Girl Shrine on Pulau Ubin and all the newspaper clippings that is stuck on its walls.
Shrine entrance
People had been coming here to pray with offerings of bottled perfumed water and powder.
On a closer look at the alter, there seems to be an urn behind the doll figurine. Somehow my hair seems to stand just looking at it.
I heard from my grandmother that when a person dies, he/she would turn into praying mantis and come back to visit the places he/she had been to when alive. I found this praying mantis in the shrine.
So do pay a visit to this shrine the next time you make a trip to Pulau Ubin
