"As a rising star, the Church of Christ, and you always complained, φανερωθεὶς θαυμαστώς, Φανουριε ένδοξε · όθεν τοις ευφημούσι, την σὴν άθλησιν Μάρτυς, names of your miracles, for the sake of salvation, πρεσβεύων τω Κυρίῳ, υπὲρ των ψυχων ημῶν ».

Then, blessed the pies of Agios Fanourios, which were skillfully made by pious Mykonos, saying features, that God does not need gifts, but their offer, in the form of vows, κεριού ή “Φανουρόπιττας” αποτελεί ανθρώπινη ανάγκη, το δε αντιπροσφερόμενο από την Εκκλησία ευλογημένο κομμάτι της “Φανουρόπιττας” μας υπομιμνήσκει να είναι αγιασμένη και η ζωή μας, our thought and works.
In his speech, in the blessing of the "placentas", His Eminence Mr.. Δωρόθεος Β’ υπογράμμισε ότι ο Άγιος Φανούριος προσφέρετε στο Χριστό, by his martyrdom,his body, while we today are called to offer to the Lord not our life and body, but a part of our heart, as a counterbalance to His presence in our lives, that will allow us to face the difficulties of life with courage and optimism, especially today.
Thank you, end, and congratulated the Prelate of the Chapel, Reader Mr.. Spyr. Xydaki, for his care for the three Chapels of the area and the prevention of the Feast, and wished everyone Agios Fanourios to support them with his prayers and to reveal the statists in their lives.
