Happy Pascha!
Spyridons shoes is about a boy named Spyridon (nicknamed Spyros) on the island of Corfu, Saving to send himself to school, meets a shepherd also named Spyridon (it was common to be named after St. Spyridon there) to not get confused Spyridon the elder is called Abba. Abba teaches him to pray constantly. A thing that is not easy to do. Spyros is a tailor's son who tends his fathers fishing nets, and in his spare time hunts for octopuses to sell. But one day on the way home from the beach Spyros cut his foot badly. His friend who was with him went to get help, but Abba came, washed his foot, wrapped it and took one of his shoes and put it on Spyros's foot. Spyros in thanks to Abba mended the hole in Abba's shoe, and waited to see him again for Spyros didn't know where Abba lived. This is a short book but a good one. it is very interesting to learn about St. Spyridon in this way.
