Saint Phanourios - Byzantine Icon

Iconographer: Liondas Chr.

Commemorates on: August 27
Little is known of the holy Martyr Phanourius, except that which is depicted concerning his martyrdom on his holy icon, which was discovered in the year 1500 among the ruins of an ancient church on Rhodes, when the Moslems ruled there. Thus he is called "the Newly Revealed." The faithful pray to Saint Phanourius especially to help them recover things that have been lost, and because he has answered their prayers so often, the custom has arisen of baking a Phaneropita ("Phanourius-Cake") as a thanks-offering.
