According to custom, the ingredients should be either 7 or 9. Women in Greece make this pie once a year, on the eve of Saint Fanourios name day, every 27th of August. They bring their pies to the church of Saint Fanourios, where the priest blesses them with a nice ceremony. After the Mass, the pies are cut and everybody is welcome to taste them.
