Description

Mount Athos Prayer Rope with 50 Knots

The prayer rope is not exclusive to monks. According to the Apostle Paul’s command, “Pray without ceasing,” anyone can carry a prayer rope in their pocket or another discreet place, so they can pray unnoticed, without attracting attention, at any moment of the day.

In the Garden of the Theotokos, the Orthodox monastic tradition views prayer as an essential daily exercise and communication with God. Whether in solitude or during the sacred services in the Catholicon of the Holy Monastery, the monks engage in prayer with fervor and experience remarkable results.

The making of the prayer rope is a service performed by the monks on Mount Athos, who, through a variety of monastic products they produce, offer every faithful the chance to experience the monastic life as the core sustenance of Orthodox Christians worldwide.
