www.byzcath.org Forums General Discussions Town Hall Prayer Ropes from Romania

Dear Forum Members,

I've been asked by a friend of mine in Romania to help sell some prayer ropes for her aunt, an Orthodox iconographer who lives in Cluj.

I have several 33 knot circular prayer ropes (the type worn on the wrist) which I am selling for $10, plus $2 for shipping and handling. All prayer ropes are black, with a single bead.

Please send me a Private Message if you're interested.

I have a prayer rope, No instructions came with it: How do I use it? It has thirty one closely knit knots on it, It has two blue beads: Form of a cross, with a tassel at the end: I would appreciate any help you can give me: I say the Rosary and it sure is inspirational: Thank you very much: God Bless you

I found a short article from the writings of St. Theopan the Recluse that discusses prayer and the use of a prayer rope. Perhaps this would be a good place to start:
