In this study we determine the beliefs and applicatons which are indicated around the cult of holy stone and rocks in Elazığ. We also try to explain the meanings contained in practces which are indicated around the cult of stone and rock. Because beliefs related to stones are seen in old Turkish communites, we prefer to give informaton in the subttle of “Beliefs related to stones in the old Turkish communites”.
