JESUS BEADS WITH TAPESTRY PRAYER POUCH
Christians are exhorted to pray without ceasing. This tapestry pouch features the ancient Jesus Prayer created by the desert fathers in the fourth or fifth century. It is an act of humility calling out for God’s mercy: “Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, Have mercy on me.” The prayer is adapted from the cry of the blind man, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me” (Luke 18:38-41)
Included in the pouch is a set of dark brown wood Jesus Beads, also called Komboskini in Greek or Chotki in Russian. It consists of three groups of 10 wooden beads separated by a slightly smaller bead totaling 33 beads. At the beginning is a blonde wood cross and at the end is a small tassel, theoretically to be used to wipe your tears with.
To pray this prayer all you do is repeat over and over again: "Lord Jesus Christ Son of God, have mercy on me a sinner".
Pouch is fully lined and features the same image on the front and the back. It has a nylon zipper closure with a cross-shaped pull and a loop on one end so it can be hooked to your keys, purse or backpack.
Measures 5¾” x 4".
Imported from Turkey.
