周三晚间,数千名朝圣者齐聚位于雅典西北10公里(6英里)处的圣法努里奥斯教堂,参与圣法努里奥斯节的庆祝活动 1。信徒们带着自制的橙子味蛋糕(Fanouropita)前来,祈求这位被称为“启示者”的失物主保圣人帮助他们化解生活中的各种失落与困境 1。神父为蛋糕祈福后,信徒们与教友共同分享,庆祝活动在周四达到高潮 1。
圣法努里奥斯是罗得岛的主保圣人,500多年前在该岛发现了描绘其殉道苦难的圣像,相关庆祝活动主要在希腊和塞浦路斯举行 1。66岁的Maria Chanioti自青年时代起便一直参与该圣人的纪念活动 1。
Thousands of pilgrims gathered on Wednesday evening at the St. Fanourios church, located 10 kilometers (6 miles) northwest of Athens, with the feast day celebrations reaching their peak on Thursday 1. The worshippers brought homemade orange-flavored cakes, known as Fanouropita, to pray to St. Fanourios, the patron saint of lost things, seeking his help with various life struggles ranging from troubled hearts to lost keys 1. After the priests blessed the cakes, the believers shared them with their fellow parishioners 1.
St. Fanourios, also known as "The Revealer," is the patron saint of Rhodes, where an icon depicting his martyrdom was discovered more than 500 years ago 1. The celebrations for this saint are primarily held across Greece and Cyprus 1. For many attendees, such as 66-year-old Maria Chanioti, the tradition runs deep, as she has been participating in the commemoration of the saint since her youth 1.
