Mount Athos Prayer Rope – 50 Knots

This prayer rope, made on Mount Athos, is a traditional religious artifact with 50 knots. In Orthodox tradition, the prayer rope is used to assist in continuous prayer and spiritual reflection, serving as an important tool for the faithful in their daily lives.

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 other discreet place and pray at any time of the day, unnoticed by others.

On Mount Athos, prayer is a fundamental daily practice and communication with God. The monks of Mount Athos engage in prayer with devotion and zeal, and the prayer ropes they craft provide an opportunity for the faithful to connect with and incorporate the monastic tradition into their own lives.
