Description
Mount Athos Prayer Cord – 50 Knots
This Mount Athos prayer cord with 50 knots is woven with synthetic thread and features a red or blue bead along with a Cross and tassel at the end.
The prayer cord is not exclusive to monks. According to the command of the Apostle Paul, “pray without ceasing,” anyone can keep a prayer cord in their pocket or another discreet place so they can pray unnoticed at any time of the day.
In the Garden of the Virgin Mary (Mount Athos), the Orthodox monastic tradition designates prayer as an essential daily exercise and communication with God. Whether alone or during the sacred services in the Monastery’s Catholicon, monks dedicate themselves to prayer with fervor and wonderful results.
The crafting of the prayer cord is a service of the monks on Mount Athos, who, through a variety of monastic products they produce, offer the faithful the opportunity to experience monastic life as a source of spiritual nourishment for Orthodox Christians around the world.
Available in blue and red beads.
Knots: 50
Origin: Mount Athos
