The saint behind the name
Phanourios
August 27, Martyr, Φανούριος
St. Phanourios is a Great Martyr whose icon was discovered on the island of Rhodes in the fourteenth century, showing a young soldier surrounded by scenes of his sufferings for Christ. His name means the one who reveals, and nothing of his life is known beyond what the icon itself testifies: that he endured many tortures and gave his life rather than deny his Lord.
