天后宮供桌上 有尊「伽藍爺」
天后宮內供桌上那尊身著藍袍的配祀神祇，是何神明？根據廟方的執事人員解說，這尊神像是「伽藍爺」，耆老們認為祂在這兒的地位是「師爺」，由於祂的塑像構造比較像現代櫥窗裡的「模特兒」，關節的部份可以活動拆解，坊間稱這種神像叫「軟身佛仔」，在這裡他們稱這尊神像為「軟身師爺」。
在《鯤島探源》第四冊，有一段有關「伽藍爺」的敘述：「伽藍爺」是什麼人物呢？據考證，「伽藍爺」就是「關帝爺」，「關帝」在佛教體系中，叫做「伽藍爺」。我們以前常可見到的是，在大陸的一些大廟的廟門口，見到武人關帝站著，主要是保護這座廟宇，因此，關帝在大廟中，只是守衛而已，在佛教體系地位並不是很高。
《神佛正傳與祭拜須知．冬之卷》佛教裡的伽藍神：「依『護伽藍爺神七佛經』記載，伽藍並非專指一神，而有十八種之多，…而被視為忠義典範的關公，則可以說是一位『中國籍』的護法神。」「…因關公為一武藝超群的名將，佛教以他為伽藍，守護佛門大法，稱為伽藍護法，台灣民間也崇尚此說。」
由以上兩則敘述，「伽藍爺」應是「關帝爺」無誤，問題是，關帝爺從一個中國將軍轉而為印度佛教的護法，再回來當中國道教神祇媽祖的護法，再改文職當師爺，這當中的轉折頗耐人尋味。
