A 33 bead prayer rope. Also known as a chotki or komboskini. Sometimes these are made from knots on a short piece of rope, ours are made out of plastic beads over waxed cotton cording.
How to use:
These ropes are used to recite the Jesus Prayer which reads: “Lord Jesus Christ Son of the Living God, have mercy on me a sinner.”
The purpose of the rope is similar to a rosary, but there’s not an official way to recite the prayers. The purpose is to keep you moving forward from bead to bead. Not for counting how many you have done. You recite the Jesus prayer, and push the noise out of your mind and heart to find stillness in your heart and to live in a state of constant ceaseless prayer.
This is especially helpful for those who have lots of noise and distractions in their lives.
Carry your rope with you everywhere, and you’ll be surprised how many opportunities during the day you have to pray in all kinds of situations!
