beautiful giftsI had some Kallistos Ware books already, but the mother load showed up earlier today. I changed the order up a little bit from what I was originally going to get. My (almost) first Orthodox stuff.
Note: The duck pillow is a one of a kind icon that they had on sale.

It says 50 on the Ancient Faith website, but I opened mine up and it's 60. I didn't know they made 60 knot ropes. So I investigated and the image they have on the store website also contains 60 knots. Odd!Nice collection there!!!
I really like the (50 knot looks like?) prayer rope.
Very nice.
Very reasonable too!
It's 10 knots between the beads except for the very too set contains 20. Check it out. The one on their website is the same.Very nice.
It looks like 10 knots between the beads, 5 sets? That's actually pretty typical. Are you counting knots that go into the cross, etc?
However many it has, it's very nice!
Ohhh, I see, extra knots on the top section. Hmmmm. Well I don't know?Very nice.

I was looking for some without dividers as my thought process is the same as yours. The 33 knot one is as close as I could find!Ohhh, I see, extra knots on the top section. Hmmmm. Well I don't know?
I actually get mine without beads if I can, since I like to be able to pray without being distracted. I only have counting as one small part of my prayer rule.
I wonder if there's a significance to the longer section. That surprised me.
Could be a Serbian thing perhaps. If I remember correctly, that's where it says it was imported from.I wonder if there's a significance to the longer section. That surprised me.
I picked one up at a monastery I visited and discovered that I really liked it. They will make them for you any way you like at St. Paisius Monastery.
