Pilgrims Worship Sacred Stone in Enshi

Pilgrims are worshiping a ''sacred stone'' in Nanhe village, Bajiao Township, Enshi city, in Hubei province, Central China, on February 24, 2024. A three-meter-high bluestone is attracting countless people who are bringing sacrificial supplies and setting off firecrackers. Incense has been continuously burning at this site for decades, and the stone is referred to as the ''divine stone'' and ''godfather.'' Locals say the stone has been there for decades, surviving attempts to destroy it with explosives during the construction of a country road. There's a story of a driver who, overcome by fatigue, nearly drove off a cliff but was saved when he saw a red light emanating from the stone, which prompted him to brake in time. Grateful for his life, the driver began to worship the stone, covering it with red cloth and bringing various offerings. Since then, he has regularly returned to pay homage to the stone.
