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.

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

Super small and when you finally get it on it’s sooo loose it looks awful complete waste of money and horribly made

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.

Very nice

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.

Unfortunately, this is a poorly made. The knots are irregular and in several places so tight that it's almost impossible to distinguish one knot from another. Really disappointing. If you go ahead and purchase (because of the price,) make sure you have a strong thumb nail to be able to drive it between these tight knots and hopefully have them individuated over time.
