Handcrafted Prayer Bead – 50 Beads – Mount Athos

Description

Prayer Bead with 50 Beads from Mount Athos

Athonite prayer bead, with 50 beads and a cross. It is woven with synthetic thread in an ivory color.

The prayer bead is not exclusive to monks. According to the command of Apostle Paul, “pray without ceasing,” anyone can carry a prayer bead in their pocket or another discreet place, allowing them to pray unnoticed, without attracting the attention of others, at any time of the day.

In the Garden of the Virgin, the Orthodox monastic tradition views prayer as an essential daily practice and communication with God. Whether alone or during the Sacred services in the Katholikon of the Holy Monastery, the monks engage in prayer with fervor and marvelous results.

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