The myth tells that St.Andrew and His companions,being on Dacians territories to preach the Christianity, arrived at a cave.Believing that this place is good enough to hide Christian meetings, He looked inside, where nobody was and said to the companions "nemo est"(nobody is).Only a few companions knew,probably,Latin so the majority of them believed that He named this place... "Nemoest".St Andrew put inside the Virgin Mary's icon.The time run...the dark ages arrived soon, Romans and barbarians ruled this territory,the goal of this place was lost but the name reminded.Rocks and woods covered in time the entrance of the cave.Slowly the name of the place was transformed in the Romanian "Namoesti"
