In the Garden of the Virgin Mary, Orthodox monastic tradition considers prayer an essential daily practice and a means of communicating with God. Whether in solitude or during the holy services in the Catholicon of the monastery, monks engage in prayer with fervor, often achieving extraordinary spiritual results.

The crafting of prayer ropes is part of the monks’ duties on Mount Athos. Through the variety of monastic products they create, they allow every believer to connect with the monastic way of life, which serves as a source of spiritual nourishment for Orthodox Christians worldwide.
