Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: The St Levan Stone In pre-Christian times, the stone was venerated for its powers and particularly in connection with fertility rites. The pagan use was neutralised by the erection of the tall cross near the Stone. The stone is split in two, and it was said that St Levan sat upon this rock when tired from fishing. Wishing to leave a memento of himself in connection with his rude but favourite seat, one day he gave it a blow with his staff and cracked it through. He prayed over the rock and uttered the following prophecy:
When with panniers astride, A Pack Horse can ride, Through St Levans Stone The world will be done. |
