About the Item

Antique Greek prayer beads, often referred to as "komboskini" or "chotki," are a form of prayer rope or string used in the Eastern Orthodox Christian tradition for counting prayers and meditating. They are typically made of strings of beads or knots and are commonly used to keep track of the number of times a particular prayer, such as the Jesus Prayer, is recited. While the traditional color of Greek prayer beads is not typically associated with orange, they can come in various colors and materials. The color orange, if used, may symbolize different aspects of spirituality or be a personal preference. These beads serve as a tactile aid for believers during prayer and meditation, facilitating a deeper connection with their faith and a meditative focus on their spiritual journey It can be sold as a set or individually .Price for each is $550
