An ancient tradition has revived in recent years in Wales, UK. Young men have set out to prove their strength and manhood by lifting a “Stone of Strength” or “Feat Stone.” For centuries the stone has been used in a test of strength. Earlier this month, a Welsh strongman lifted above his shoulder, for the first time in living memory, the Feat Stone that has sat in front of the Neuadd Goffa Criccieth Memorial Hall in Wales since the hall was built in 1925.
