More about
the 100-Knot Mount Athos Prayer Rope (Synthetic Yarn)

The Jesus Prayer, “Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on me,” also known as the prayer of the heart, is written about extensively in the Philokalia which encompasses 1,100 years of monastic wisdom. This prayer helps those who wish to purify the heart.

Enhance your prayer life with this 100-knot Orthodox prayer rope. Each rope is tied knot by knot by Athonite monastics in the traditional manner, making it a genuine tool for the Jesus Prayer and daily spiritual discipline.

Made from durable synthetic yarn, the rope is designed for everyday use. It features a blue bead placed every 25 knots, allowing you to keep your place easily as you pray, and finishes with a traditional tassel often used to wipe away tears during prayer. It supports a steady rhythm of the Jesus Prayer, intercessions, or any rule of prayer given by your spiritual father.

This prayer rope is a tool for use by catechumens, newly illumined Orthodox Christians, and longtime faithful. It also makes a thoughtful gift for baptisms, chrismations, name days, and other milestones in the life of an Orthodox believer.

Because each rope is handmade, small variations in knot spacing and finish are part of its character and authenticity.

“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly… in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs.”- Colossians 3:16
