There lived at that time in Nicosia (Asia Major) a young doctor called Pantaleon who\, after converting to Christianity\, pilgrimaged throughout Northern Italy. There he performed miraculous cures for which he was canonized. On a certain occasion when he asked some Venetian peasants for bread\, these invited him to join their humble table. In his gratitude he foretold for them a year of bountiful fishing and harvests. The prophecy came true as well as many other miracles. St. Pantaleon was consecrated\, alongside St. Mark\, patron saint of Venice. This occurred on a 29th\, this being the reason why that day is remembered with a simple dish represented by gnocchi. The accompanying ritual of placing money underneath the plate symbolizes the wish for new blessings.
