The Jindo Moses Miracle is one of the world's most amazing natural phenomenons happens twice a year in Jindo island, the third largest island in Korea next to Jejudo and Geojodo island. It's nearly the end of February and mid of June, during low tide, a land path of 2.8 kilometers long and 40 meters wide is revealed, connecting the islands of Jindo and Mondo for about an hour before being submerged again. This amazing phenomenon resembles 'The Splitting of the Red Sea' in the Book of Exodus in the old Testament, that's why this event is called "The Miracle of Moses".
A festival called The Yeongdeung Festival is dedicated to celebrate this natural wonder. During the festival, original folk plays of Jindo are performed and would draw tourist from aroound the world into Jindo island.
