Prayer Rope – 100 Knots – Mount Athos

Description

Mount Athos Prayer Rope – 100 Knots – Black & Orange Beads

The Mount Athos prayer rope is an essential aid for spiritual life.

It is an authentic Athonite product, handmade exclusively by monks residing in the Garden of the Theotokos. It is created as part of their craftsmanship, alongside many other products that the Athonite fathers make with dedication and care.

What is the weave of the Mount Athos prayer rope?

The rope consists of 100 knots with a tight weave and is adorned with 10 beads, either black or orange. At the end, it finishes with two intertwined crosses, one small and one slightly larger.

Although made exclusively by monks, the prayer rope is not only used by them. It is an essential tool for prayer and spiritual life for all people, both clergy and laity, of the Orthodox Christian faith.

Saint Paul urges us to “pray without ceasing.” To fulfill this command, wherever a person may be, whatever they are doing, they can and should pray. However, the fast-paced modern lifestyle, with its countless concerns and the stress of daily life, constantly distracts us during the limited time we have to pray and communicate with God. The Mount Athos prayer rope, with its 100 knots and the divine grace it carries, helps the person to focus and pray more effectively.

The Athonite Tradition in the Making of the Prayer Rope

The prayer rope with 100 knots is made according to the centuries-old Athonite tradition. At its end, there are two intertwined crosses. The larger one represents the Cross of the Lord, while the smaller one above it symbolizes the inscription above the Cross with the initials INBI (Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews).

The Mount Athos prayer rope is 100% authentic, handcrafted by monks in the Garden of the Theotokos.
