Historically it typically had 100 knots, although prayer ropes with 50 or 33 knots can also be found in use today.
Its invention is attributed to Saint Pachomius in the fourth century as an aid for illiterate monks to accomplish a consistent number of prayers and prostrations. Monks were often expected to carry a prayer rope almost constantly, to remind them to pray constantly in accordance with Saint Paul's injunction in I Thessalonians 5:17, "Pray without ceasing." | | | Features: | |

100 knot olive wood bead komvoskiniMay 12, 2010
By L. Denis
Excellent/prompt communications from seller, tracking info supplied as soon as it was available. Packaged for shipment very well to ensure safe delivery. Item looks exactly as pictured. It is well made with care, high quality yarns are carefully and tightly knotted, olive wood beads very nicely finished and the natural grain of the wood is enhanced beautifully. The prayer rope is truly a thing of beauty as well as being an item that is used in prayer. Highly recommend seller, would not hesitate to purchase from them again.
