The figure of Our Lady of Expectation - a monument in a stone grotto from the early 20th century was unveiled on December 18, 2020.

There is another grotto next to it - St. Barbara's Grotto.

The stone grotto is associated with a legend about the life of Saint Barbara. According to this legend, Barbara was the daughter of a wealthy pagan named Dioscorus of Nicomedia. When the girl grew up, he placed her in a tower so that she would not have contact with her peers and Christians. The former he considered corrupt, the latter he simply hated. Despite her father's objections, Barbara accepted the Christian faith and was baptized. When Dioskur found out about this, he was furious. He ordered her to stop religious practices, and when she refused, he began to torture her. Barbara somehow managed to escape and found shelter in a stone grotto. There a shepherd saw her and handed her over to Dioscour. The cruel father gave Barbara to the Romans. The poor girl was tortured and when she remained adamant she was beheaded. Supposedly, the sentence was carried out on December 4, 305 by Dioscour himself.
