Fanouropita
Fanouropita
Fanouropita is a traditional sweet fasting pie of Greek cuisine. It is offered on the memory day of St. Fanourios on August 27, when the pie is given to believers as a blessing. It is based on oils and does not contain any butter or eggs. Believers seek to offer the cake and get "revelation" of objects or people in general, or to find something they are looking for.
