Orthodox & Christian Prayer Beads & Prayer Ropes
Traditionally used to count prayers although also used in modern times to aid with anxiety and help mindfulness, the orthodox prayer beads have 33 beads which signifies the thirty three years of Christ’s life.
The history of the prayer rope (komboskjni) dates back to the beginning of Christianity where links would use them to keep track of prayers. Historically they would contain 100 knots although also al the 50 knot version exists for those wanting something more compact.
