  • Summary

  • According to legend, Ireland’s Stone of Destiny was used as a pillow by Jacob in Biblical times, and was carried out of Jerusalem by refugees fleeing from persecution in the city. One of these was a princess known as Scota. The exiles fled through Egypt, Sicily and Spain, finally arriving in Ireland, where the stone became known as Lia Fáil or the ‘Stone of Destiny’. The sacred stone was used as the coronation stone of Ireland’s high kings and was believed to cry out in joy when the rightful king of Ireland sat on it.
