Sejlstenen - Vesterløkken, Denmark - Weird Story Locations on Waymarking.com

Dansk: Denne sejlstenen - eller sælstenen, som den også kaldes - er knyttet til sagnene omkring helligkilden Else Made kilde 1 km mod nord. Det siges, at en hellig mand kom sejlende til øen på stenen. Han begyndte at prædike den nye tro og på skømt lod hedningene sig døbe i kilden. Hvorefter de dyppede ham i havet til han druknede. Herefter lagde man ham på stranden med et kors på brystet. Han blev senere begravet i Onsbjerg kirke, hvor han går igen, og krucifikset blev ophængt i kirken med en indskrift fra 1596. Korset, der kan ses i kirken er en kopi, originalen kan ses i Nationalmuseet.

Teksten på tavlen lyder som følgende: "Dette forgyldte krucifiks var bundet på et dødt menneske, og kom flydende her til land ved Ilse Made i Tranebjerg sogn. De ville tage liget til kirkegården, men fire heste kunne ikke trække det. Heller ikke til Kolby kirke kunne det trækkes. Men da man vendte vognen mod Onsberg kirke trak to heste det med lethed og kroppen blev begravet ved den østlige gavl af kirken. Kirken har taget navn af det gyldne kors og hedder i dag Hellig kors kirke. Mit glas er udløben." (anno 1596)
