Saint Roch, to whom this church/chapel is dedicated as patron, was born in the middle of the 14th century in Montpellier, France. He is popularly regarded as the "plague saint" - alongside Saint Sebastian. A characteristic feature of the depiction of Roch in paintings and as a statue is that he is usually pointing to a plague boil on his leg; a dog can also often be seen at his feet, because according to legend, when he was caring for plague victims, he himself became ill with the disease and withdrew into solitude, and the dog provided him with bread every day. The memorial day of Saint Roch in the calendar of saints is August 16th.
