Why does God let innocent children die? In this video, we explore one of the hardest questions of faith and suffering. From a theological perspective, we discuss why young lives are taken and how to understand God's plan in the face of tragedy

Have you ever heard of St. Phanourios, the patron saint of lost things?  St Phanourios is known in the Orthodox Church as a saint who helps people find lost or stolen items. We ask St. Phanourios to help us find whatever we lost, and when we find it, we bake a cake and share it with friends and loved ones to give thanks. This special tradition comes from Greece and the special olive oil citrus cake is called “Phanouropita!” You can also bake this cake on his feast day, August 27th. In this episode, we are baking phanouropita donuts, which is ideal for sharing with others, an important element in the tradition!

You can read more about this tradition and find the recipe on my blog: https://www.asceticlifeofmotherhood.com/blog/phanouropita-donuts

Ingredients
1-1/4 cups vegetable oil (or substitute for oil of choice)

2-1/2 cups sugar

1-1/4 cups warm water

Grated rind of 1 orange 

1/2 cup orange juice (fresh orange juice is best)

1/2 tsp cinnamon

3 tsp baking powder

4 cups white flour

1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

1/4 cup raisins (optional)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

Sift flour, baking powder, and cinnamon together in a large bowl and set aside.

Using a whisk, combine oil and sugar until blended.

Add the warm water, orange rind, orange juice, and walnuts and mix well.

Slowly add the flour mixture and combine until smooth.

Add raisins and walnuts (if adding).

Pour batter into well-greased donut pans.

Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until the cake springs back when lightly touched. 

Cool on a wire rack.

Top with powdered sugar.

Our Newest Lecture Series:
Demonology: Understanding & Winning the Spiritual Battle

Click Here: https://patristicnectar.org/bookstore_220620_11222221112

The study of the Church’s demonology is a part of basic catechism and Christian instruction. The Scriptures are replete with teaching on the dark powers. Additionally, it is impossible to appreciate the magnitude of the saving deeds of our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, without understanding how He, and He alone, has conquered Satan and destroyed his works. Lastly, Christians are called to fight and win in the spiritual war, and for this reason, it is essential that believers understand their enemies and their tactics. Toward this end, Father Josiah presents in these lectures in-depth studies of the Scriptures, Divine Services, and pedagogy of great saints and teachers on the subject of Satan and spiritual battle. 

Lecture titles include: 

Lecture #1 Jesus and Satan 

Lecture #2 Demonology in the Baptismal Rite and the Divine Liturgy 

Lecture #3 Gaining Mastery of Satan: The Life of St. Anthony the Great 

Lecture #4 How to Win the Spiritual Battle according to St. John of the Ladder 

Lecture #5 Engaging the Unseen Warfare: Fr. Lorenzo Scupoli and St. Nicodemos of the Holy Mountain 

Lecture #6 C. S. Lewis’ Screwtape Letters and Demonic Warfare in the 21st Century Falling West
