=== Worship === [[File:Templo Na Tcha, Macao, 2013-08-08, DD 01.jpg|thumb|200px|[[Na Tcha Temple of the Centre of Macau]], a Nezha temple behind the [[Ruins of St. Paul]], in [[Macau]].]] Nezha is worshipped in [[Chinese folk religion]] and is called "Marshal of the Central Altar" or "Prince Nezha", the "Third Prince". As in traditional folklore, Nezha flies around swiftly on his wind fire wheels, so he is also regarded as the tutelary god of many professional drivers, like trucks, taxis, or sightseeing bus drivers. They tend to place a small statue of Nezha in the vehicles for a safe drive.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.taiwaninsights.com/tag/nezha-the-third-prince/|title=Associated News|website=Associated News|access-date=15 April 2018}}</ref> Nezha is also often regarded as the patron god of children and filial piety. Parents would make an offering to Nezha with the hope that their children would grow up strong, healthy, and be dutiful and respectful.
