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 monks would use them to keep track of prayers.

Historically they would contain 100 knots although the 50 knot version exists for those wanting something more compact. The 50 and 100 Bead Prayer beads are Inspired by the Eastern Orthodox 50 & 100 knot  prayer rope making them perfect for those who want extra beads to go through and can also be used religiously
