The Significance of the Prayer Rope

The prayer rope (Greek komboskini, Russian chotki, Serbian brojanica) is a loop of woven knots used by Orthodox Christians to keep count while praying. On each knot the faithful repeat the Jesus Prayer, letting the hands support the heart in unceasing prayer.

The prayer recited on each knot is:

“Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.”
