Christian Prayer Rope: The Orthodox Prayer Rope is used to aid concentration in prayer. At each knot, typically the Jesus Christ prayer is recited, asking for mercy. At each bead, the prayer "Hail Mary" is often said. Its goal is to unite individuals with God and fill their hearts with divine grace.
The traditional black color prayer rope reflects mourning for one's sins, while the red signifies the blood of Christ and the martyrs, serving as a meaningful reminder to deepen your connection to faith.
During prayer, the prayer rope is typically held in the left hand, allowing the right hand to remain free for making the Sign of the Cross.
