Hsin-stone.
Blue-stone - the legendary boulder, located near the village of Ancient city under Pereslavl. According to the ancient Russian tradition, this rock lives a spirit, fulfilling dreams and desires. At the beginning of XVII century the church came into the fight with the pagan religion. Pereslavl church deacon Semyonov Annufriy ordered to dig a big hole and throw it Hsin-stone. But after a few years the boulder mysteriously looked out from under the ground. After 150 years, the ecclesiastical authorities decided to lay Pereslavl "magic" stone of the foundation of the local bell tower. Stone was loaded onto the sled and drove across the ice of Lake Pleshcheeva. The ice broke, and Hsin-stone sank at a depth of five meters. Soon the fishermen began to notice that the boulder slowly "mixed" on the bottom. After half a century, he was on the shore at the foot of the mountain Yarilin where is until now ... This and similar stones and make a puzzle to scientists, over which they are fighting in vain for decades. What has been suggested in this regard? Mystics say that there is nothing to think about - in the "wandering stones" live otherworldly entities.

The name of the stone was due to blue hue, which acquires it from the rain soaked surface. That giant has mystical powers, was known to the ancient Slavs, who celebrated around the various rites. Subsequently, the champions of Christianity decided to fight the pagan cults and in 1788 tried to take away the stone across the ice of Lake Pleshcheeva to lay its foundation being built near the church. However, the boulder had other plans, and a few meters from the shore of the sled, on which lay such a heavy load, have broken the ice and disappeared under the water. After 70 years, the stone mysteriously "crawled" to the bank and since then is one and the same place, slowly sinking into the ground. Coming to his people believe that if you make a wish, touching the rough surface, then it is sure to be fulfilled. More damaging to the shrine is the belief in some of that to cure diseases must be taken into the water, stir in crushed monolith. As a result, the boulder is constantly hammering, scratching scratch adherents of alternative medicine. So it is not surprising if, sooner or later they will eat all of it.

People believed that he is able to heal the sick children had only to bring the ailing child to the stone and wash it with water, which had previously been "Scat" stone. In addition, it was believed that touching the shrine protects against all enemies. Be that as it may, everyone who comes in these secluded places, always surprised that such a large boulder centuries lies on marshy ground on which to walk and some times it is difficult, and goes underground. Now pilgrims at the stone is small, but around it and you can find pictures of pagan and trees decorated with colored ribbons.

We found him recently in a sandpit and on the initiative of the abbot of the temple Icons Mother of God in the village Lyzlov transported to the territory of the church. It is said that around the stone praying in one of the dry years of St. Sava, the founder of Savva Storozhevsky monastery and that at the end of prayers boulder moved up and out from under him scoring a miraculous source which, by the way, exists to this day. The very same stone for the time being disappeared and appeared only today, to again help people.

Stone Belokuriha.
In the Altai region, near the resort Belokurikha, Mount Tserkovka is a magic stone, fulfilling desires. On it you just put your hand and dream of the unseen. However, according to the belief, desire must not be short-term, and therefore apply to the boulder can be only once a year. It is said here twice visited by Vladimir Putin. For the first time, while still in the rank of prime minister, he asked the stone to make him president of Russia, and the second time the incumbent president climbed the mountain before his election to a second term.
Whether to believe in the miraculous power of stones, everyone decides on their own. Perhaps the fact that people come to them, perhaps for the first time, think about what is really important to them, and gives strength in the performance of all desires.
