- This is an amateur video of myself tying a 4-string chotki (prayer rope) knot and how to make and finish a 33 knot bracelet. Hope to get something up better soon - so please forgive the bad camera shots over my shoulder!
Thank you very much, Mother Gabriella!
As a former Greek Orthodox, who converted to Roman Catholicism and now getting back to his Eastern Tradition, but through the Catholic Church, I find it really blessing to be able to create my own Chotki!
God bless! :)
Konstantinos L God Bless you for coming to the true and Holy Church!
Amen! Thank you very much!
God bless you too! :)
But catholicism has so many heretical or otherwise contradictory teaching
Welcome!

Mother, this is a wonderful - and most helpful - tutorial. It is the only one that actually shows the steps clearly and slowly and, perhaps most importantly, to completion! A chotki can be an invaluable spiritual aid, the thought of being able to prayerfully make one for oneself (once you get the hang of it!) feels quite a blessing. Thank you for sharing this.
This is the most wonderful and helpful tutorial I have found!! I have been looking at videos for 6 hours now and this is the first to make sense. I would love it if you would do a 100 knot tutorial!!!
Thank you Mother Gabriella for doing this video. I have now successfully made 6 prayer ropes. Three 33 knots, Two 50 knots, and one 100 knots prayer ropes. I have followed your method to the letter and success. Thank you again!
Thank you sister, I had difficulty on other videos seeing how exactly the knots are tied because they all do it so quickly, but thankfully you take it very slowly! God bless you
Thank you so much. Completed a 33 knot and a 50 knot prayer rope for the first time today. Thank you so much.
I was told to make a chotki as a spiritual direction assignment to gain patience😂 first time making one and I’m very much growing in the virtue
thank you very much!watched without sound because we do not understand English. the video is wonderful!
Thank you, I felt called to make a chotki and though mine isn’t as tidy as yours I am happy with the result using both knots. Now is time to pray the Jesus prayer.
I fricked up on my first knot lol
Thank you for sharing this. I've completed 30 knots so far, my goal is 100-150 knots. It definitely takes practice, patience, and time.
Thank you, Sister, for sharing.
Wow, excellent tutorial!
I've watched some others and I was sooo confused.
Thank you! Awesome tutorial. Thank Scout as well ;)
Wow, the 4 strand seems SO much easier to tie than a 2 strand. Still a lot of loop-de-loops, but a bit more manageable. I am curious though as to some of the ones I've seen that just have one bead and no cross. They look absolutely seamless. No idea how they do that lol.
Haven't figured that out either!
between this style and the winged style of chotki tying where you must go in and pull the string out through each side 3 times, it is the same knot right?
Thank you sister for sharing this amazingly video 📿🌹
Quite an interesting process... Didn't know how much work went into those. I might have to try doing one of these at some point.
Great video. Best instruction I've found. Is there a method for making a chotki that isn't a bracelet?
Thank you Mother for this video. I have made a few rosaries using a two strand chotki knot. However, I was very surprised to see that you use FOUR strands, and I was wondering about this. How does this knot compare to the two strands one? Is it the same knot, except larger? Thanks again!
Thank you so much! I've got to get to a craft store so I can try this.
I hope you were able to find the right supplies! God Bless your work!
Sister, DO you have any suggestions on how to finish using wool? Maybe a different knot for the cross?

Do you also ise the prayer rule of the theotokos?
Very useful short movie but i still don't know how to make cross at the end
Sister, I am very confused. Can you please inform me where this "new" practice of chotki tying originated? Myself and my family always prayed the Holy Rosary in our Byzantine Catholic tradition. My family in Poland and Slovakia who are Greek (Byzantine) Catholic have always prayed the Holy Rosary. To my knowledge chotki tying is a Russian Orthodox Christian tradition NOT a Byzantine Catholic one. Perhaps you can enlighten me. Thank you every so for your time. God Bless.
Loyalty Coptic Thank you for your historical take on the origin of the prayer rope. How interesting. However, I was asking the sisters if they would explain their use of chotki tying, as it is not part of the Greek (Byzantine) Catholic tradition. The Holy Rosary has always been and still is prayed by Greek (Byzantine) Catholics, not the chotki.
Mari S. The Jesus Prayer has always been apart of the Byzantine Catholic as well as Orthodox traditions - there just happen to be some countries where there is a heavy influence from the Roman Catholic tradition, which has a long standing history of praying the rosary.
Sister Gabriella
Dear Sr. G., thank you for your kind response. Please explain further how the Jesus Prayer has "always" been part of personal devotions for Byzantine Catholics. To my knowledge the prayer rope is part of the habit of Eastern Orthodox monastic communities. From what I have read the Jesus Prayer came into being in the Orthodox Church during the 14th Century. However, this was rejected by Roman Catholic Theologians until the 20th Century. If this prayer was rejected up until the 20th Century how then could it "always" been a part of Byzantine Catholic spiritual devotion. While comparisons have been made, the Holy Rosary and the chotki are part of two separate religions. Furthermore, the majority of Greek (Byzantine) Catholic Churches and Religious Orders that began in the United States were founded for the most part by a majority of those with Slovak, Ruthenian, Hungarian and Galician (Lemko) ancestry. The immigrants from these regions had Catholicism as their countries religion. So yes, they did have a "heavy influence" from the Western Roman Catholic Church, which was willingly absorbed into their Greek (Byzantine) Catholic Faith. Nowhere is there a mention in old Greek (Byzantine) Catholic prayer books or service books to the Jesus Prayer as a form of spiritual devotion. For example, I have a prayer book from my grandmother printed in Uzhorod, Ukraine in 1902. I have read through it many times and again no mention of the Jesus Prayer however, there are several pages devoted to the mysteries and how to pray the Holy Rosary.
Why is youtube always used as an argument site. This is a teaching video, not a theological or tradition debate video geez.
Cara Dennis I am not arguing. I am just asking Sister Gabriella to expand on her original response. Since when is it wrong to educate oneself on the correct history behind spiritual devotions.
Yeah sister I can never do this I would end up burning the rope out of anger because I cant get it right :D
Pray for me please
To think that all these traditions and beliefs do not bring you one iota closer to Salvation....Jesus is the way, the truth and the life....
I believe the word you might be seeking is grace.
In what way does praying "Lord Jesus Christ Son of God, have mercy on me a sinner" bring you not one iota closer to salvation, which is ultimately Christ. I recognize you are probably protestant, but come on man, think a little bit. Also this is a lovely video of a woman sharing of her skill with the internet community, why do you have to tear someone down who is doing a lovely thing in assisting people cultivate greater devotion to the Lamb of God?
Sounds like protestant nonsense to me.
