Prayer Craft – 50 Knots – Mount Athos

Description

Mount Athos 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 attracting attention, at any time of the day.

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

The making of the prayer rope is a task performed by the monks on Mount Athos, who, through a variety of monastic products they produce, offer every believer the opportunity to experience monastic life as the core source of nourishment for Orthodox Christians worldwide.
