Thánh Trần worship

The Thánh Trần worship (tín ngưỡng thờ Đức Thánh Trần) is one of three branches of shamanism of Vietnamese folk religion (the other two are Đạo Mẫu and Nội Đạo Tràng). This shamanic belief is associated with the spirit of historical general Trần Hưng Đạo, who repulsed several invasions by the Mongol Empire and the Yuan dynasty. The temples are sometimes collectively called Trần Triều, literally "Trần dynasty".

Mediumship with the spirit of Thánh Trần is part of votive dance lên đồng mediumship and is particularly associated with Đạo Mẫu (道母), mother goddess worship. Mediums are mainly female, possession of a male by the spirit is viewed as unusual.
