Cord 33 Knots – Metal Element With Crossed & Agios Dimitrios – Mount Athos

Description

Monastic rosary with 33 knots

The rosary has great power, “it is the weapon of the monk and the knots are bullets, which reap”, said Saint Paisios. The rosary is a prayer aid for monks, clergy and lay people.
According to the Christian tradition, the rosaries and in general the prayer hands have their origin in Saint Pachomius in 320 AD. In particular, the Blessed One began to look for some way that would help the monks in self-concentration during prayer, but also in their counting. Then the Archangel Gabriel visited him in his sleep and showed him how to make the tool that would serve the needs of prayer.

What is a rosary

This particular rosary is an authentic Agioritei ergochiros, which is available from “Agioriteki Heritage”. After all, one of the most common ministries of monks is the creation of handicrafts. Each monk undertakes a specific task that accompanies him during the day and is an integral part of monastic life.
In fact, the proceeds from the sale of monastic handicrafts are used either for the livelihood of the monks or for restoration work in cells and hermitages.
