Traditional Handmade Christian prayer rope made with the highest quality, love and prayer. The material used is black floss which is commonly used in making komboskinis (that’s how prayer ropes are called in Greek).
Each one, starting from the top of the cross, consists of 1 knot, then 1 gold metal spacer followed by 11 knots. Moving on, there is 1 gold metal spacer, 1 black pony bead and 1 more gold metal spacer followed by another 13 knots. Then again, we have spacer-pony bead-spacer-knots and so on identically with the other side to complete the total of 50 knots. The two sides are tied into the knotted cross and the prayer rope is completed with the beautiful tassel.
This prayer rope stands for the perfect gift for your parents, brother, sister, any other loved one and is also suitable for any occasion and holiday, whether it is Christmas, Easter, Baptism and so on. Furthermore, it will help you with your own prayers, as prayer ropes are essential for every Christian.
There are two ways we can pray using the prayer rope:
- a) When we have free time, we secretly hold the prayer rope with our left or right hand and move from knot to knot with our thumb whispering simultaneously the prayer: “Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on me” or “Most Holy Theotokos save us”.
- b) When we pray following the rule of prayer that our spiritual father has told us to follow, we hold the prayer rope with our left hand between the thumb and the index finger and move from knot to knot. At each knot we simultaneously do two things: i) with our right hand we make the sign of the cross over ourselves and ii) we say the prayer “Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on me”.
