Hi,
I’m researching St. Onuphrius, (Sant’Onofrio, San Onofre) and was wondering if anyone had ever heard of a custom among Sicilian Catholics to pray to him when they’ve lost something? I have heard of praying to Saint Anthony but not St. Onuphrius for this.
Thanks!

The Byzantines of Southern Italy including Sicily and Calabria traditionally pray to St. Phenorios to find lost things. Once the lost article is found, you bake a St. Phenorios bread in his honor.
