Did you know that on August 27th, Greeks bake a special cake called Fanouropita (Φανουρόπιτα) in honor of Saint Fanourios, the patron saint of lost things? This delicious cake is made with love and shared with family and friends to seek blessings, good fortune, and even help in finding lost items! 🙏✨
The tradition is simple but meaningful: after baking, the Fanouropita is taken to church for a blessing and then shared with others, spreading joy and good wishes.
