宜蘭玄天上帝信仰重鎮──羅東奠安

Yilan Xuantian God Believe ─ Luo Dong DianAn Temple

宜蘭位在台灣東北一隅，三面環山，一面臨海，地理位置偏僻，地勢封閉，平原呈 三角狀，東邊近海有小島如龜。海岸蜿蜒似蛇，故有「龜蛇把海口」說法。且因漢人墾 殖較遲，主祀玄天上帝信仰的廟宇較本省中南部者少，而神像來源大多由先民由閩南原 鄉攜入者多。因漢人「入墾晚，開發速」關係，有關玄天上帝顯化神蹟口耳相傳的數量 大且多元。而地處蘭陽溪南羅東小鎮，原祀神農，後由鄰近冬山鹿埔調訓宮所祀俗稱「帝 爺公」的玄天上帝，因緣際會卻代之而為五穀廟的主神，更名為奠安宮，因此發展二廟 先後獻壽獨特宗教活動，終成羅東五大民間廟宇之一，香火鼎盛結果，其宗教廟會且發 展成為全溪南地區官民共祀的「農曆三月初三，迎熱鬧，呷拜拜」習俗，甚至與時俱進， 結合地方廟宇，陣頭，繞境與民俗藝陣，轉型為兼具民間宗教信仰與地方人文特色的觀 光活動，與地方發展息息相關。迄至今日，仍為比美宜蘭市城隍慶典，東獄大帝遶境的 地方信仰盛況。而其寺廟建築之特色與豐富文物資產更使奠安宮成為羅東地區的玄天上 帝信仰重鎮且為宜蘭溪南地區的民間宗教信仰中心。
