‘Stone of Destiny' Vandalized in Ireland
February 10, 2023
The Stone of Destiny, a 5000-year-old monument, was vandalized. Workers stood atop Ireland’s Hill of Tara, not to admire the view or take in the history, but to steam-clean off ugly graffiti. Lia Fail, also known as the Stone of Destiny, is a piece of granite that stands on the Hill. It's rumored to have mystical powers, and was part of the inauguration of 142 of Ireland’s high kings. But on February 6, the Stone of Destiny was vandalized with spray paint.
