Blessed Handmade Greek Christian Orthodox Waxed Prayer Rope from Mt.Athos (Komboskoini Chotki) Thin Wooden Cross fragrance With Holy (Chrism- Myrrh)
- The prayer rope is one size and can stretch to fit even an adult man's hand. Just stretch it gently until it can slip tightly onto the wrist. It might need to apply a little force to open it but it will not break. Be careful NOT to stretch it too much because it will NOT go back to its original size. (See listed photos).
- The prayer rope is part of the habit of Eastern Orthodox monks and nuns and is employed by monastics (and sometimes by others) to count the number of times one has prayed the Jesus Prayer or, occasionally, other prayers. Historically, the prayer rope would typically have 100 knots, although prayer ropes with 50 or 33 knots can also be found in use today. Hermits in their cells may have prayer ropes with as many as 300 or 500 knots in them..
- Handmade item, size and color of the beads may vary..
