"Fanouria"

In the village of Colchida, during late August, the people celebrate the memory of St. Fanourios. In addition to the events with dancing, food and wine, the women of the village prepare a Fanouropita. This is a fasting pie that is made in the memory of St.Fanourios (27/08) and is offered as a blessing to the faithful. It is a custom that began as a pious gesture of the believers (especially the females and the name of the Saint has been associated with finding lost objects and people) and we do not think that it conceals something abnormal or ugly.
