Sacred stone, spring or grove
Jaanikivi
Saint John himself is said to have sat on this stone beside the Miikse stream and rested his feet on it. Seto people came from all over Setomaa on St John's Day to leave butter, eggs, curd cheese and wool here, much of it later handed to the poor, and people with sore eyes bathed them in the nearby spring. The story goes that a manor lord once broke the stone up and built the pieces into a cowshed wall, until his cattle began to sicken and die; the fragments were hauled back, and the broken stone still lies where it was.

Pärimuse järgi istus sellel Miikse oja ääres oleval kivil püha Johannes ise ja puhkas oma jalgu. Jaanipäeval tulid setod üle kogu Setomaa siia võid, mune, kohupiima ja villa tooma, suur osa annist jagati hiljem vaestele, ning silmahaiged pesid silmi lähedases allikas. Räägitakse, et kord lasi mõisnik kivi lõhkuda ja tükid lauda seina laduda, kuni tema karja hakkas tabama haigus ja surm. Tükid veeti tagasi ja murtud kivi lebab tänini oma vanas kohas.
