Lääne-Nigula Church
Lääne-Nigula church drew more than its share of hurled stones in local lore. A 73-year-old man at the Palivere almshouse told in 1933 of Salvaina kivi, a boulder a fathom and a half high on a riverbank behind the forest, which the Devil had thrown at the Nigula church tower before it fell short. In Taebla people said a stone by the former Jupi tavern had been thrown at the church all the way from Kuressaare. And in the churchyard itself lies Kaarnakivi, the raven stone, said to bear the marks of the Devil's fingers.

Lääne-Nigula kirik pälvis kohalikus pärimuses rohkesti visatud kive. Üks 73-aastane mees Palivere vaestemajast jutustas 1933. aastal Salvaina kivist, poolteist sülda kõrgest rahnust jõe kaldal metsa taga, mille Vanapagan viskas Nigula kiriku torni pihta, kuid kivi kukkus lühikeseks. Taeblas räägiti, et endise Jupi kõrtsi juures olev kivi oli kiriku pihta visatud koguni Kuressaarest. Kirikuaias endas lebab aga Kaarnakivi, millel olevat Vanapagana sõrmede jäljed.
