Description
This is the birthplace of Saint Columba, also called Columbcille, in Gartan, Donegal, Ireland. It is part of a megalithic stone monument that pre-dates Columbcille by thousands of years. People place coins on this stone in hope of curing loneliness, homesickness, and sorrow.
According to a story told by Rev John R.Walsh. PP of the Derry diocese, the stone is where Columbcille slept before going into exile and now it has miraculous powers to cure loneliness and sorrow. Even photos of this stone are popular with refugees. I made this photo on April 27, 2007.
