Origin from 2025
On 6 October 2025, the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month, the Cao Dai Holy See Church of Tay Ninh held its annual Hoi Yen Dieu Tri Cung, the Feast of the Jade Pool Palace honoring the Mother Goddess and the Nine Fairy Maidens and the faith's largest yearly gathering. The Holy See's own account recorded about one hundred thousand participants and one hundred seventeen offering displays arranged by worship groups from across Vietnam. Independent press coverage of the same observance described hundreds of thousands of pilgrims and tourists converging on Tay Ninh from provinces nationwide. The 2025 observance fell in the season leading toward Cao Dai's own hundredth anniversary of its 1926 founding, a milestone the faith's communications had already begun marking the previous November.

Dates
StatusEstablished marks the Holy See's own continued observance of its largest annual feast at full traditional scale, not an audited count of attendance, which the temple's own figure and the independent press account state differently, and not any claim about the founding centenary itself, which the faith marks separately and falls after this fact's date.
