A ceremony to pray for good fortune was held at Na Tcha Temple in Macao, south China, on Tuesday. During the ceremony, residents have a Na Tcha figure stamped on their arms, legs, and towels to pray for health and safety.

Na Tcha, a character in Chinese myths and legends, is depicted in the 16th-century novels Fengshen Bang and Journey to the West as having the magical ability to dispel devils. He is often portrayed as a child riding on Wind Fire Wheels to drive demons and disasters.
