Product Overview
The Orthodox Prayer Rope, is also known as the Komboskini, is used by Orthodox Christians to count prayers, primarily the Jesus Prayer. The practice has roots in early Christian monasticism and is a tool for spiritual discipline and meditation. While not a piece of jewelry, Orthodox Christians wear a komboskini as a bracelet or in their pocket to call them to pray throughout the day. The rope is typically black, which signifies mourning for one's sins and the call to repentance.
These prayer ropes have 33 knots, are of the "thin" variety, and feature a wooden cross and 2 wooden beads. They do expand when gently stretched.
