About Our Prayer Ropes

 

about-our-prayer-ropes-web.jpgAll of the prayer ropes shown on this web site are individually handcrafted by the sisters. We offer traditional knotted wool prayer ropes in three different thicknesses of yarn, and a wide variety of style and color options. The knotted satin prayer ropes, natural stone, wooden, and Panagia’s Pearls, serve as beautiful alternatives that can be worn in any social setting as a reminder to turn our minds to our Lord and to pray the Jesus Prayer without attracting attention. 

 

Wool & Satin Prayer Ropes

The materials used in crafting our prayer ropes are of high quality, but there will always be some variability in the wool or satin cord. The knots are tied closely together, but the prayer rope can be stretched so that there is a separation in between each knot. Therefore prayer rope lengths will vary slightly, even when using the same material. Below are listed the approximate lengths of the different sizes:

Russian Style Cross with Tassel Greek Style Cross

 

  • The Russian style prayer ropes are longer than the Greek style, because of the tassel.
  • Satin cord prayer rope lengths are in between 2ply & 3ply.
  • 300 knot prayer ropes are made to order. We sometimes have some in stock. Please inquire. Otherwise, please allow 2 weeks for delivery.


Stone, Wood, & Pearl Beaded Prayer Ropes

The beads used in our beaded prayer ropes are individually inspected by the sisters, to insure the highest quality. The semi-precious stone and Panagia’s Pearl’s prayer bracelets are strung on clear, stretch “Power cord.” The wooden prayer bracelets are strung on black, stretch “Power” cord. All of the longer wooden beaded prayer ropes are strung on black nylon cord, except for the olive wood, which is strung on 3-ply bonded beading twine.

All beaded wrist prayer ropes come with a lifetime re-stringing guarantee.
