St Phanourious cake
My wife, who is a Charismatic protestant, has been carefully exploring Holy Orthodoxy with quite a bit of reservation. However, over the last several years, she has seen a change in me and has become less hostile to me sharing with our children. This is partically to do with her experience with St Phanourious.
He is known for being a saint who helps christians find lost things, all glory be to God. At our homeschool co op, my wife was telling her Orthodox friend how she had lost her daily journal and hadn't been able to find it for weeks. Her friend told her about St Phanourious, which bothered my wife as her tradition rejects the practice of requesting help/prayer from anyone besides Jesus or people still living on earth. Most definitely not those saints who went before us and have been perfected in love and hope for our success more so than we do, but anyways..
She was so desperate that she broke with her tradition and asked the saint for help. Within seconds, the journal was discovered i a place she has searched dozens of times. This has happened on 3 separate occassions so far and she is flabergasted.
Anyways, to that the Saint who by the grace of God helped us find multiple things in the past, a traditional orange spice and nut cake is made in his honor.
