Prayer Craft – 50 Knots – Mount Athos

Description

“Athonite Prayer Craft with 50 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, so that they can pray unnoticed, without attracting the attention of others, at any time of the day.

In the Garden of the Virgin Mary, the Orthodox monastic tradition regards prayer as a necessary daily practice and communication with God. Whether alone or during the Sacred Services at the Catholicon of the Holy Monastery, the monks engage in prayer with fervor and remarkable results.

The creation of the prayer rope is a ministry of the monks on Mount Athos, who, through a variety of monastic products they produce, provide every believer the opportunity to experience the monastic life as a core source of nourishment for Orthodox Christians around the world.
