We have received many requests during this Lenten season on how to create an Orthodox Prayer Rope. Dr. Christine Kerxhalli of the Orthodox Christian Devotionals YouTube channel provides a very helpful step-by-step instructional video on how to tie a wool or acrylic yarn Orthodox Christian Prayer Rope with yarn cross and tassel.

Within the Orthodox Christian tradition, the Prayer Rope is used with the Jesus Prayer, “Lord, Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me a sinner.” Historical information on the Prayer Rope within the Orthodox Christian tradition may be found at here.
