    On Coney Island there is also a very old stone in the shape of a chair. The people of this island and district believe that when St. Patrick was in Ireland he sat on this stone and there are finger prints of a right hand. The marks of the four fingers and thumb are said to be those of St. Patrick. If one sits in this chair and puts his fingers in the finger prints on the stone and wishes, is it said the wish will come true.
