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 attention from others, at any time of the day.

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

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