The stone known as "Grès de Saint-Lucien" sits near to the entrance of the church at Caisnes.
This stone has a legend and healing powers: it is supposed to carry the marks of the stick and foot of the saint. It's also said to help recovering from rheumatisms or epidemic diseases, and that puny infants get stronger after having been seated on it for a while.
