Description
Handmade Mount Athos prayer rope with 50 thick knots, woven from black silk thread and inspired by the monastic tradition of the Holy Mountain. The prayer rope is adorned with Byzantine-style metallic elements and two beads in a blue shade. On one side of the cross, the prayer recited by a Athonite monk holding a prayer rope in his hands is depicted, while on the other side, the Cross of Golgotha is engraved with the inscriptions "IC XC NIKA" (Jesus Christ Conquers) and "AGION OROS" (Holy Mountain). A handmade prayer rope from Mount Athos, finishing with a large, rich tassel. A special monastic prayer rope, ideal for prayer, spiritual contemplation, or as a meaningful gift. Why do prayer ropes usually have a black color? Prayer ropes are commonly found in a black hue, which reflects mourning for sins, as "For there is not a just man on earth who does good And does not sin." (cf. 1 Kings 8:46, Job 4:17, Romans 3:9–12, etc.).
