This handcrafted 33-bead wooden Komboskini or Chotki (Orthodox prayer rope) is designed for the reverent recitation of the Jesus Prayer:

“Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.”

33 beads symbolize the 33 years of Christ’s earthly life, inviting prayerful reflection on His ministry and sacrifice.

Two square divider beads break the rope into three equal sections of 11 beads, traditionally used to mark pauses, make the sign of the Cross, or offer a brief doxology such as “Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.”

A single bead above the cross, often called the Resurrection bead, serves as a concluding point for prayer or symbolizes Christ’s triumph over death.


This Komboskini features an Eastern Orthodox or budded Byzantine style cross, a traditional Christian symbol rich in meaning and elegance. Each arm of the cross ends in three rounded tips, known as trefoils or buds, representing the Holy Trinity and the blossoming of new life through Christ's sacrifice.


The 3-bar Orthodox Style cross:
 The Top Bar (Shortest): Represents the titulus or the plaque nailed above Jesus' head by Pontius Pilate. It often bears the inscription \(INBI\) in Greek (or \(INRI\) in Latin), which translates to "Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews".

The Middle Bar (Longest): This is where Christ's hands were nailed.

The Bottom Bar (Slanted): Represents the footrest of Christ. It is always slanted, usually with the right side pointing upward and the left side downward.


The budded cross is widely used in Orthodox and Eastern Christian traditions, symbolizing not only the Crucifixion but also the Resurrection and the eternal life promised to the faithful. Its balanced, symmetrical design reflects the harmony of divine truth, while its artistic form evokes both reverence and beauty in prayer.

The tassel represents the tears of repentance and serves as a symbol of spiritual warfare—reminding the faithful that prayer is both a comfort and a weapon against temptation.

Ideal for personal devotion, Orthodox gift-giving, or as a spiritual keepsake, this prayer rope is a beautiful expression of prayer, tradition, and craftsmanship.
