One of these is the church dedicated to Prophet Amosh. According to the legend, the Prophet Amosh, had once fought with Prophet Elias. The latter, very angry, threw to Amosh a huge rock. Amosh pushed back the rock with his fist and opened a hole throughout the rock. Ever since, following the local tradition, every child who wished to be taller had to pass from this hole!
