Prayer Rope

In the Orthodox Church and other Eastern traditions, prayer ropes (often called komboskini) are used as a physical aid to practice the Jesus Prayer: “Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.” Each knot helps the person keep focus and rhythm, guiding the mind and heart into continual prayer. Alternative variations of the Jesus Prayer are used such as “Lord Jesus Christ, help!” and short verses from the Psalms such as “O God, make haste to help me.”
