Saint Onofre the Anchorite was a hermit of the 3rd or 4th century.
Onuphrius or Onoufrios (Greek: Ὀνούφριος), venerated as St. Onofre in the Roman Catholic Church and in the Eastern Catholic Churches; known as Venerable Onuphrius and St. Nofer the Anchorite in the Eastern Orthodox religion, lived as a hermit in the desert of Upper Egypt in the 3rd or 4th century.
St Onofre was one of the Desert Fathers and a legend who had a great influence on Eastern spirituality in the third and fourth centuries, when Christianity was emerging as the dominant faith of the Roman Empire.

At this time many Christians were inspired to go into the desert and live in prayer in the harsh environment of extreme heat and cold, with little to eat and drink, surrounded by all kinds of dangerous animals and thieves.
St. Onofre settled first in the Cenobium near Hermopolis of Thebes in Egypt and later as a hermit in the desert, where he was discovered by St. Paphnutius.
When he met him for the first time in the desert, he was frightened by the sight of the saint, who was covered with hair like a wild beast and naked except for a garment sewn with leaves that covered his loins, like St John the Baptist.
After recounting his life and the bitter conflicts he had endured as a hermit, Onofre told Paphnutius that he was about to die and that he had been sent to bury him, which soon happened.
Although Paphnutius later wanted to remain in the Saint’s cave, as soon as he buried him, the cave collapsed and the palm tree that had given the Saint his fruit withered, indicating that it was God’s will that he return to his monastery and make Saint Onofre known to all.

Prayer to San Onofre Santeria
Over the years, the devotion to many saints has sometimes led to their use in Santeria, as is the case of Santa Barbara (See: History of the Blessed Santa Barbara).
The same has happened with San Onofre, who has been gaining ground in Santeria rituals and is invoked by Santeros to make requests and petitions, and has now gained more power in this practice, especially to ask for work or money.
Since this is a saint who may have lived in the first centuries of Christianity, and there is no certainty as to whether he existed or not, he has a characteristic of apocryphal testimony in the religious sphere.
Perhaps the fact that he was a hermit, living alone in a desert cave, gives him an air of divinity because of the simplicity with which he lived his life.
The loneliness of the desert and the fact that he ate whatever he could find there with difficulty make the life of this saint even more exaggerated, as does the fact that an angel fed him throughout his life.
It is worth noting that in Sicily people pray to Saint Onofre when they have lost something. The prayer can have many variations, but generally it mentions the miraculous properties of Saint Onofre’s hair.
It is widely believed that repeating the prayer while looking for something, such as keys, a lost ring or anything else, is a great help in finding it sooner.
