SAINT FANOURIOS St, RHODES OLD TOWN-JOHN BAKALIS-2014
In the 21th century and in the guise of ''culture heritage'', streets of Rhodes, like St Fanourios-Old Town, remain not passable.When it rains shops are destroyed, because the water is not flowing. Many shopkeepers stop the water their own way. The water passes the 50cm. Many tourists fall each year. Also, a car cannot enter and so an enderly cannot walk and even a pregnant woman cannot give birth. ''To live in the Old Town is a fary tale'', said a young citizen of Rhodes.

Rhodes Medieval Town (June 2017)
The city of Rhodes is the capital of the island of Rhodes which is located in the South Aegean Sea (N36 26 49.992 E28 13 40.008). The Medieval Town occupies a 65 hectare portion of the city of Rhodes and is delineated by the fortification stone walls and integral moat.
The Order of St John of Jerusalem occupied Rhodes from 1309 to 1523 and set about transforming the city into a stronghold. It subsequently came under Turkish and Italian rule. With the Palace of the Grand Masters, the Great Hospital and the Street of the Knights, the Upper Town is one of the most beautiful urban ensembles of the Gothic period. In the Lower Town, Gothic architecture coexists with mosques, public baths and other buildings dating from the Ottoman period.
From 1309 to 1523 Rhodes, the largest island of the Dodecanese, was occupied by the Knights of St John of Jerusalem who had lost their last stronghold in Palestine, in Acre, in 1291. They transformed the island capital into a fortified city able to withstand sieges as terrible as those led by the Sultan of Egypt in 1444 and Mehmet II in 1480. Rhodes finally fell in 1522 after a six-month siege carried out by Suleyman II.
The medieval city is located within a 4 km-long wall. It is divided with the high town to the north and the lower town south-southwest. Originally separated from the lower town by a fortified wall, the high town was entirely built by the Knights. The Order was organised into seven “tongues”, each having its own seat, or “inn”. The inns of the tongues of Italy, France, Spain and Provence lined the principal east-west axis, the famous Street of the Knights, on both sides, one of the finest testimonies to Gothic urbanism. To the north, close to the site of the Knights’ first hospice, stands the Inn of Auvergne, whose facade bears the arms of Guy de Blanchefort, Grand Master from 1512 to 1513. The original hospice was replaced in the 15th century by the Great Hospital, built between 1440 and 1489, on the south side of the Street of the Knights.
The lower town is almost as dense with monuments as the high town. In 1522, with a population of 5000, it had many churches, some of Byzantine construction. Throughout the years, the number of palaces and charitable foundations multiplied in the south-southeast area: the Court of Commerce, the Archbishop’s Palace, the Hospice of St. Catherine, and others.
Its history and development up to 1912 has resulted in the addition of valuable Islamic monuments, such as mosques, baths and houses. After 1523, most churches were converted into Islamic mosques, like the Mosque of Soliman, Kavakli Mestchiti, Demirli Djami, Peial ed Din Djami, Abdul Djelil Djami, Dolapli Mestchiti.
The ramparts of the medieval city, partially erected on the foundations of the Byzantine enclosure, were constantly maintained and remodelled between the 14th and 16th centuries under the Grand Masters. Artillery firing posts were the final features to be added. At the beginning of the 16th century, in the section of the Amboise Gate, which was built on the northwest angle in 1512, the curtain wall was 12 m thick with a 4 m-high parapet pierced with gun holes. The fortifications of Rhodes exerted an influence throughout the eastern Mediterranean at the end of the Middle Ages.
These days approximately 10,000 people live and work within the town. It's the focal point of interest of all visitors to the island and is a mecca for trade, food and entertainment.

Agios Fanourios Kefalas DSCF4293
On the 26th of August we celebrate the anniversary of Agios Fanourios (The Saint of Miracles) at the tiny church built out of stones by Vangelis on the road from Vamos as it enters the Cretan village of Kefalas.
On the stone church are the words Welcome to Kefalas. Most visitors think it's simply a monument.
Vangelis is also the curator of Kefalas Folklore Museum, which is open between 8pm and 10pm on most summer evenings. The museum is in Kefalas square, next to the school playground. There's also an RAF plaque in the square; see if you can find it!

This fasting/VEGAN cake is traditionally made in Greece to honor Saint Fanourios celebrated on 27th August, a tradition which started in the island of Rhodes. He is the patron Saint of lost things as his name in greek means: Fanourios from fanerwnw=find or reveal something. The maker of the cake needs to make it 3 times & offer it to church to be blessed by the priest. It should then be shared with the congregation and other people-family, neighbours and friends. That's if the cake maker wants to have any hope that his lost object or person may be found. Through the years lost objects have taken on a metaphorical meaning: luck, destiny, good health, happiness, marriage, anything you look for!! For good luck and to find your lost objects, the cake traditionally should include 7,9 or 11 ingredients. So when you eat the cake, your teeth find things in it! This is my family's recipe belonging to my great-granny Calliope ????! It's great for breakfast or with tea: not too sweet, a bit spicy containing cinnamon, nuts & fruits and flavoured w/orange and brandy.
Info about St. Fanourios: The small church of Saint Fanourios, is located in the Old City of Rhodes.His icon was the only one found still in perfect shape in 14th c. The particular interest of this church is that, according to tradition, the very cult of Saint Fanourios started in Rhodes. The Saint's real name is still unknown, but his given name, Fanourios is a direct reference to the fact that his icon-holding a torch, was discovered in the ruins!
Serves 8-10 persons.
Suitable for vegans and fasting.
Ingredients (I used 11):
120 ml. (Olive) Oil
50 gr. Walnuts
250 gr. Self-rising Flour
125 gr. Sugar
1/2 tsp. Ground Nutmeg
1/2 tsp. Ground Cloves
1/2 tbsp. Ground Cinnamon
1 Shot Brandy
150 ml. Fresh Orange Juice
70 gr. Currants
1/2 tsp. baking Soda
Optional: 1&1/2 tbsp. Sesame seeds (to sprinkle on top)
Φανουρόπιτα Κέικ (για χαμένα πράγματα) από την Γιαγιά Καλλιόπη
Σερβίρει 8-10 άτομα
Αυτό το νηστίσιμο κέικ φτιάχνεται παραδοσιακά στην Ελλάδα για να τιμήσει τον Άγιο Φανούριο που γιορτάζει στις 27 Αυγούστου, μια παράδοση που ξεκίνησε στο νησί της Ρόδου. Είναι ο προστάτης των χαμένων πραγμάτων, όπως το όνομά του στα ελληνικά σημαίνει: Φανούριος από το φανερώνω. Σύμφωνα με το έθιμο, αυτός που φτιάχνει την Φανουρόπιτα πρέπει να την ετοιμάσει 3 φορές και να την προσφέρει στην εκκλησία για να ευλογηθεί από τον ιερέα. Στη συνέχεια, θα πρέπει να μοιραστεί με τους υπόλοιπους παρευρισκομένους στην εκκλησία αλλά και με άλλους ανθρώπους-οικογένεια, γείτονες και φίλους. Αυτό πρέπει να γίνει, αν ο παρασκευαστής του κέικ θέλει να έχει οποιαδήποτε ελπίδα ότι το χαμένο αντικείμενο ή πρόσωπο του μπορεί να βρεθεί. Μέσα στα χρόνια τα χαμένα αντικείμενα έχουν πάρει μεταφορικό νόημα: τύχη, πεπρωμένο, καλή υγεία, ευτυχία, γάμος, ο,τιδήποτε ψάχνετε! Επίσης, για να έχετε καλή τύχη και για να βρείτε τα χαμένα αντικείμενά σας, το κέικ παραδοσιακά θα πρέπει να περιλαμβάνει 7,9 ή 11 συστατικά. Έτσι όταν τρώτε το κέικ, τα δόντια σας βρίσκουν «πράγματα» μέσα του! Είναι ένα υπέροχο κέικ για πρωινό ή με τσάι: δεν είναι πολύ γλυκό, και έχει ελαφρά πικάντικη γεύση επειδή περιέχει κανέλα, ξηρούς καρπούς και φρούτα και είναι αρωματισμένο με πορτοκάλι και κονιάκ. Αυτή είναι η συνταγή της οικογένειάς μου, η οποία ανήκει στην προγιαγιά μου Καλλιόπη! Εκτός από νηστίσιμο το κέικ είναι κατάλληλο και για χορτοφάγους!
