Prayer handiwork from lapis lazuli: Features

The Mount Athos Prayer Handiwork consists of 100 beads. This number is symbolic as it is twice the number of days from Easter to Pentecost. There are two more beads, above and below the cross hanging at the end of the handiwork.

All the beads of the needlework are made of the semiprecious stone lapis lazuli. This stone is also called lazourite or lazourion. It stands out for its wonderful color which is blue with golden fibers. Its name, after all, means blue stone.

Four small metal crosses are inserted between the beads of the needlework. At its end, the Mount Athos Prayer Handiwork ends in a discreet metal cross. Under the cross hang blue fringes. On the metal decorative element that holds the fringes is written the word Mount Athos.
