Prayer Rope – 100 Knots – Mount Athos

Description

Athos Prayer Rope, with 100 Knots

The prayer rope is not exclusive to monks. According to the command of the Apostle Paul, “pray without ceasing,” anyone can carry a prayer rope in their pocket or another discreet place, enabling them to pray unnoticed, at any time of the day, without drawing attention from others.

On Mount Athos, the Orthodox monastic tradition regards prayer as an essential daily practice and a means of communication with God. Whether in solitude or during the sacred services in the Catholicon of the Holy Monastery, the monks engage in prayer fervently, with remarkable results.

The making of the prayer rope is a service performed by the monks of Mount Athos, who, through a variety of monastic products they produce, provide the faithful with the opportunity to experience monastic life as a core source of spiritual nourishment for Orthodox Christians worldwide.
