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, allowing them to pray unnoticed, without drawing the attention of others, at any time of the day.

In the Garden of the Virgin Mary, the Orthodox monastic tradition defines prayer as an essential daily practice and a means of communication with God. Whether individually or during Sacred Services at the Catholicon of the Holy Monastery, monks dedicate themselves to prayer with fervor and achieve remarkable spiritual 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 source of spiritual nourishment for Orthodox Christians around the world.
