In Swedish folklore, glacial erratic blocks are called Jättekast (Giant's throw).

In old times, people couldn't fathom how these giant blocks could have ended up in the middle of a field, and the common explanation was that giants threw them in attempts to crush the churches.

They couldn't stand the sound of the church bells.

Painted using Procreate.
