Description Mount Athos Prayer Craft with 100 Knots The Athonite prayer craft, with 100 knots, is woven with synthetic thread and features a Cross at the end, with a tassel. The prayer rope is not exclusive to the monks. According to the command of the Apostle Paul, “pray without ceasing,” anyone can keep a prayer rope in their pocket or some other discreet place, so that they can pray unnoticed, without drawing the attention of others, at any time during the day. In the Garden of the Theotokos (Mount Athos), the Orthodox monastic tradition establishes prayer as an essential daily exercise and communication with God. Whether in private or during the Sacred Services in the main church of the Holy Monastery, the monks devote themselves to prayer with fervor, achieving marvelous results. The making of the prayer rope is a service (diakonia) of the monks on Mount Athos, who, through a variety of monastic products they produce, offer the faithful an opportunity to experience the monastic life, which serves as a foundation for nourishing Orthodox Christians worldwide. Available with red or blue beads. Knots: 100 Origin: Mount Athos
