Description

The prayer rope is adorned with metal beads of Byzantine design and a central cross-shaped bead, engraved with the initials IC XC NIKA meaning Jesus Christ conquers. It ends with a large, rich tassel, which highlights its traditional character. A special monastic prayer rope, ideal for prayer, spiritual contemplation or as a symbolic gift. Why are prayer ropes usually in black color? Prayer ropes are typically black, symbolizing mourning for our sins, as "For there is not a just man on earth who does good And does not sin." (See: 1 Kings 8:46, Job 4:17, Romans 3:9-12, etc.)
