St. Phanourios is the saint you pray to when you have lost something. Every Cypriot has prayed to Phanourios at least once, and every Cypriot will tell you that it works. The tradition is to bake a Phanouropita (a cake with nuts and spices) and give it away, because what you offer to the saint, you receive back in found things.
