1Pc Handmade Christian 33 Knot Orthodox Greek Omboskoini Prayer Rope Protection Blessing Cross Charm Tassel Car Hanging Charm

Much smaller than pictured

I’m new to Orthodoxy (& relatively new to Christianity in general). I ordered this because I heard one can wear the chotki (as opposed to something like a rosary). I was looking for something lightweight and simple to wear that would aid me in my prayers as well as help me to feel safer & closer to God. It’s quite lovely—the color is vibrant, and it seems sturdy and well made so far—but it’s very small. My wrists and hands are small-average size for an adult woman and I have to roll it on with some difficulty. I imagine most adults wouldn’t be able to actually wear it. Forgive me if wearing it isn’t the purpose; but as I said, that’s what I was told. I also don’t know if specific colors are used traditionally, but I love that they offered this red shade (which I chose to represent the blood of Christ). It’s certainly worth the price and I absolutely recommend it—especially to anyone on a budget or needing it fast. That said, I’d still like to purchase a 33/50 prayer rope that has been handcrafted and prayed over at some point in the near future.

I was disappointed that the beads are so close together they are difficult to get hold of for each prayer

Very good quality and excellent fitting

Great prayer tool love the color options
