Description

Handmade Orthodox prayer rope with 50 thick knots, woven from black silk thread according to the Athonite tradition. The prayer rope is adorned with metal beads of Byzantine design and a central cross-shaped bead, engraved with the inscription "Άγιον Όρος" (Mount Athos, in Greek) and 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.) Cross dimensions: 2 x 2 cm.
