Description Mount Athos Prayer Rope, 50 Knots It is woven with synthetic thread and features an additional red or blue bead and a Cross at the end with a tassel. The prayer rope is not exclusive to monks. According to the command of the Apostle Paul, “pray without ceasing,” anyone can keep a prayer rope in their pocket or in another discreet place, allowing them to pray unnoticed, without drawing attention from others, at any time of the day. At the Garden of the Holy Virgin (Mount Athos), the Orthodox monastic tradition regards prayer as an essential daily practice and communication with God. Whether alone or during the Divine Services in the Cathedral of the Holy Monastery, the monks engage in prayer with fervor and marvelous results. The making of the prayer rope is a service carried out by the monks of Mount Athos. Through a variety of monastic products they produce, they offer every believer the opportunity to experience the monastic life as a core of spiritual nourishment for Orthodox Christians worldwide.
