Dear TAW,

I was initially afraid that all of the Prayer Ropes would disappear like our Rosaries did when they were introduced, so I bought one where I could hold it for a member of TAW who might want one. They cost 1000 blessings, but I just put one up in the auction for a lot less than that. If you want it, just go there and get it, and if you cannot afford it, then PM me, and it is yours. :)

BTW, are they used with the Jesus Prayer in a similar manner to the Rosary?

God Bless,

Neal

NealMost common for the Jesus Prayer, prostrations, and "Most Holy Theotokos save us!". I think brewmama once gave us a link to the Orthodox version of the Rosary. I'm sure the prayer rope can be used for that too. There's also a type of prayer rope called the Lestovka ("Ladder") that's probably more suitable for the rosary. It's a strap like item...usually made of leather.
