okay time to learn a thing that spaniards do, because we are just weird, man

so, in spain when you lose something and can’t find it, you get a handkerchief and tie knots on each corner of it

and then you pray

but do you pray to god? no, you pray to saint cucuphas (san cucufato), and i can already see you rolling your eyes buT WAIT

the prayer goes as it follows

"Saint Cucuphas, Saint Cucuphas your testicles I tie, and until you do not find my (lost belonging) I will no untie them"

tl;dr: i will fucking destroy your holy balls if you don’t find my goddamn keys

The Martyrdom of Saint Cucuphas, 1502 Hans Brun

Saint Cucuphas (also Cucufas or Qaqophas, Catalan: Cugat, Culgat, Cougat, Spanish: Cucufate, Cocoba(s), French: Cucuphat, Cucufa, Cucuphat, Quiquenfat, Galician: Covade, Cobad, Occitan: Cophan, Asturian: Cucao) is a martyr of Spain. His feast day is July 25, but in some areas it is celebrated on July 27 to avoid conflict with the important feast day of Santiago, the patron saint of Spain. His name is said to be of Phoenician origin with the meaning of "he who jokes, he who likes to joke." - Wiki
