It also plays a central role in the Coconut Religion founded in 1963 in Vietnam.

follows the Coconut Religion link

The Coconut Religion was founded in 1963 by Vietnamese mystic and scholar Nguyễn Thành Nam,[1] also known as the Coconut Monk,[2][3] His Coconutship,[4] Prophet of Concord,[4] and Uncle Hai[4] (1909 – 1990[5]).

I was wondering how the heck coconuts journeyed around the southern passages for what would have been probably years on ocean currents and arrive in the caribbean still viable for growth.

Or carried by a sparrow.

Not really gonna happen.

Is that an African or a European sparrow?

[–] MrShankles@reddthat.com 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Neither, it's a Swallow. Still unclear if it's African or European though

A five ounce bird could not carry a 1 pound coconut.

They took the Panama Canal, obviously.

[–] sadicarnot@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

A swallow could grip it by the husk
