The Jewish story about Rabbi Hanina ben Dosa and his donation to the temple appears  in Song of Songs Rabbah, an exegetic Midrash of the sixth century, and in the later Ecclesiastes  Rabbah. According to this tale, Rabbi Hanina was so poor that he was unable to  provide the standard festival offerings to the temple, as was customary on the pilgrimage  to Jerusalem. Instead, he managed to find a heavy stone which he chiseled and brought  along with him. The narrative function of bringing weighty stones to holy places also appears  in one of the exempla of Dialogus miraculorum which was written by Caesarius of  Heisterbach in the thirteenth century. The protagonist of this tale, in apprehension of the  gravity of his sins, decided to bring heavy stones to the local Church of the Apostles. On  the approaching Day of Judgment, so he hoped, these stones would add to the weight of  his good deeds and outweigh his sins. Literary materials and narrative functions tend to  circulate across cultural and temporal boundaries, thus making it possible to view different  stories that share these features as manifesting one single phenomenon. Their common  narrative function expresses a similar, JudeoChristian consciousness of the categories  of stone and holy place. The individual cultural settings of these stories, however,  establish different interrelations between these classifications.
