Olivewood Jesus Prayer Beads in Muslin Bag

A strand of 100 wooden beads, the Jesus Beads are a devotional tool honoring the name of Jesus and imploring the mercy of God.

Marked with a cast metal Jerusalem Cross, the beads may be tucked in an included stamped muslin pouch for protected transport and storage.

A 3 x 3 inch gift card features the Jerusalem Cross design on one side, and a brief history of the Jesus Beads and an explanation of how to use the beads on the other.

GIFT CARD reads:
Jesus Beads originated in the tradition of the Orthodox and Eastern Catholic Churches. Called a Chotki, the strand may have as many as 100 beads, or as few as 25.
The Chotki is traditionally used as a silent "breath prayer," with "Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God" prayed on inhalation and "have mercy on me, a sinner" prayed on exhalation. The Jesus Prayer, or the Prayer of the Heart, invokes the Holy Name.

Gift packaged. Beads measure 11.5 inches long; pouch, approx. 3 x 3 inches.
