A shocking act of vandalism at the cave beneath Saint Fanourios Church in Turkish-occupied Kyrenia, Cyprus, has sparked outrage. The sacred site, linked to the patron saint of lost things, was found defiled with shattered icons, used condoms, and evidence of drug use, prompting calls for action to protect Christian heritage.
Saint Fanourios is a revered and holy figure among the Christian saints. What sets him apart is that he is not only honored on a single feast day, but the faithful also make use of the renowned “fanouropita” (Fanourios cake) in his name.
Saint Fanourios lived during the Roman era and bravely stood up against the idolatrous world of his time. His unwavering Christian spirit did not allow him to deny his virtuous principles, even in the face of 12 tortures that he endured. His courageous sacrifice serves as a powerful example of perseverance and adherence to the moral values of Christianity.
When Greeks lose something, they don’t waste time searching, they just bake a cake. Growing up, it was very tempting just to hide items so mum would bake a fanouropita in honour of Saint Fanourios🍰🇬🇷🇨🇾😋
