1941年，香港保衛戰，日本軍戰機轟炸赤柱，附近居民走入天后廟內，後來有一個炸彈落喺廟外，但無爆炸，因此被相信係天后娘娘顯靈。
In 1941, during the Battle of Hong Kong, Japan fighters bombed Stanley, and nearby residents walked into the Tin Hau Temple, and later a bomb fell outside the temple, but did not explode, so it is believed that the Tin Hau Niang Niang appeared.
