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]).

Or carried by a sparrow.

Not really gonna happen.

Is that an African or a European sparrow?

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

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