Changed my life. A true lifesaver. Also the sweet smell of incense on the rope made it feel like I was praying in spirit with the wonderful monks who made it.
Has been a great aid to my prayer life.
I am using and enjoying my 33-knot chotki. I specifically wanted one in black wool, with traditionally tied knots, wooden divider beads, tassel, and monastery origins. When not in use, I keep it in a leather case, along with my portable icon of Christ Pantokrator. Thank you for a wonderful, authentic, and spiritual product. Blessings.
So thrilled with my prayer rope. Very happy with the craftsmanship.
I am not Orthodox (yet) but find myself drawn to many aspects of the Orthodox faith, including the prayer rope. In addition to being thoughtfully crafted for usage of the Jesus Prayer, prayers to the Theotokos, etc., this chotki is very stylish. I pray it will be helpful in deepening my prayer life.
