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 they can pray unnoticed, without attracting the attention of others, at any time of the day.

In the Garden of the Virgin Mary, Orthodox monastic tradition defines prayer as an essential daily exercise and communication with God. Whether individually or during Sacred Services at the Catholicon of the Holy Monastery, monks engage in prayer with fervor and remarkable results.

The creation of the prayer rope is a ministry of the monks on Mount Athos. Through a variety of monastic products they produce, they offer every believer the opportunity to experience monastic life as a core source of spiritual nourishment for Orthodox Christians worldwide.
