廟貌造型獨特 觀音庇祐平安 吉貝觀音寺成為吉貝地標

　　（記者宋國正報導）至今已有一百多歷史的吉貝觀音寺，因廟貌造型獨特，不時吸引前往旅遊的善信焚香膜拜，祈求平安。而矗立在島上東、西方位的東鐘、西殼，由於有一段鮮為人知的神奇傳說，除象徵當地人文特色之外，也成為吉貝島的地標，當地居民說：今年前往觀賞、拍照留念人潮不亞於吉貝沙尾。

　　位於白沙島北方的吉貝島，島上地勢平坦，耕地廣大，光復後由於政府的積極獎勵及輔導，農漁業長足的發展，曾有「小美國」之稱號，相傳一百多年前，吉貝島民偶見東方海面出現一片萬丈紅光，十分燦爛，懷疑海中出現寶物，引起全島居民駕著漁船競相趕赴現場查看，僅在海面上發現一尊慈祥面的觀音華祖金身，隨即在村民開會決議，將之供奉於武聖廟內奉祀，隨後即在地方紳士呂軒、謝如兩倡議下而募款興建，名為觀音寺。該亭曾於清光緒十四年及民國三十四年、三十九年重建，又於民國六十一年改造三仙門，寺後建一座小花園，左右抱兩廊，由於廟齡老舊，在民國七十九年再度重建，並於民國八十六年舉行落成典禮展現新貌。

　　據當地居民說，自從供奉觀音佛祖後，村內經神靈庇佑，不僅合境平安、五殼豐收外，就是從事生產製造也日新月異，使得全村民眾生活更覺溫飽。一日，觀音佛祖神蹟再次顯現，於夢中指點村內耆老，指示為加速當地的繁榮景象，必須在村內東方興建一座像石塔，以鐘為標誌，並在西方興建一座以「殼」為標誌的建築物安鎮，同時書有東方龍馬壯山河及西境海雲飛日月，象徵吉貝觀光歷久不衰，也成為當地的人文特色。

　　觀音寺不僅為當地宗教信仰中心，同時亦在寺後建造一座小花園，左右抱兩廊，並於廟前建造一座暮鼓、晨鐘亭，以配合觀光旅遊勝地，供遊人觀賞。據當地居民流傳的說法是，吉貝嶼能有今天的繁榮，全拜安置東鐘、西殼所賜，因此才有東方龍馬壯山河、西境海雲飛日月象徵精神標誌留存至今。
