When you stand in the center of the village, looking eastern, you will see the chapel of Prophet Elias on the top of a mountain. The chapel was built in 1995. It is built of bricks and its color is white. The yard has fencing and it is cemented. All the ecclesiastic equipment inside the chapel is new. It is very small and simple. It celebrates mass three to four times a year.
On the top of the mountain there is a big stone with a cavity. Inside this cavity there is a candle for Prophet Elias. It is said that the Prophet helps the people to pick the seeds by causing fair wind.
His feast day is on 20 July and a lot of visitors come to celebrate his memory.
