Blessed Handmade Greek Christian Orthodox Waxed Prayer Rope from Mt.Athos (Komboskoini Chotki) Thin Black Fragrance With Holy (Chrism- Myrrh)

This is a small prayer rope made into a bracelet that includes traditional knots, a couple of blue beads, and an additional large cross-shaped knot cluster. It comes from Mt Athos, a very powerful and significant place to the Eastern Orthodox Church.The bracelet / prayer rope looks elegant but simple. It is high quality with the very intricate traditional prayer knots being made very precisely around this item. The inclusion of the colorful beads and the traditional knotted cross make this a perfect and highly usable prayer rope.As a bracelet it is quite narrow. It can be stretched apart somewhat, which also helps separate the knots, but it will still be a very small bracelet. However it's a function as a prayer rope might be its best feature. The knots and beads can be used to count off prayers said during meditative prayer sessions typical with Orthodox and Catholic Christians.Overall it is a beautiful, simple knotted bracelet from a very holy place. It can be worn by people with smaller wrists and it can be used by anyone to help focus during prayer time. It is perfect!

When you receive the bracelet, it’s gonna look really small. It’s gonna stretch around to your wrist as you put it in, then put your wrist under lukewarm water for a few seconds then dry it off. It’s gonna shape around your wrist after a few minutes.

This is the third item (and second prayer rope) that I purchased that has become damaged. I came home today to find that it became unknotted. At first I thought I was just unlucky, now I am thinking to just not buy anything here again!

Yes, out of the package it seems small, but look at it like faith and love, both acts can seem small but when you put them into action they grow.You can stretch out the braclet by pulling apart and separating each not. As the space between the knots grow, so does the circumference of the bracelet. Continue to gently seperate each knot (which helps make them easier to count in prayer) and soon the bracelet will be large enough to slip on your hand.Jesus Christ have mercy.May you all be blessed

Very nice

When i received the item i initially thought i received the wrong item. After a heavy squeeze the bracelet fit perfectly just don’t expect to ever remove it.

I bought this one for my 7 years old and it does just fit over her hand (but loosely on her wrist), so it's tiny! She doesn't wear it as a bracelet, but keeps it on the icon corner when not praying with it. She loves it! Thank you and God bless.

Friends of mine brought back a very similar bracelet from Greece for me. It came from a monastery. I love it. I bought three of these for stocking stuffers, but they aren't quite what I expected. They are tied from much thinner cord, and the whole bracelet is a little less substantial than I'd like. Like the Equate version of the original. The bracelets are not too small though they look it at first - you have to slowly work it over your wrist. The knots tighten allowing more slack in between them growing the bracelet. Once on your wrist you can gently roll it up and down to loosen the knots again, thus tightening the bracelet. I would give my authentic Greece a 5, but these I can only give 3 outta 5 stars.
