| Bendigo's Joss House is an internationally-known landmark, one of the oldest joss houses still in use as a place of worship in Australia. |
| The whole house and yard were cleaned thoroughly to banish all bad joss and demonic spirits. |
| The English phrase joss money derives from the Portuguese word deos, meaning god. |
| Each joss house was usually created and used by Chinese from the one village or district of origin. |
| And with it, the scent of fame and glamour and money wafted under her nose, pungent and alluring as any joss stick. |
| Sometimes, one can smell the fragrance of lit joss sticks wafting from the windows. |
