In this video, Sophia teaches us a little about the history of Orthodox prayer ropers, what we'll need to make them, and an overview of the knots and technique.
This is the proof that god exist. No human being could ever come up with that knot.
Totally agree, im still on my third go for first knot and no where near getting it right lol
@@ORTHODOXWOMENMINISTRY XD. Keep it up, you'll get it right eventually
That was funny and truth 😅❤
Thank you so much for making a slow enough tutorial. This feels like my 1000th try but I finally got one knot
I'm just starting and I'm loving the journey brother😂🙏🏼☦️praise to God☦️🙏🏼
Angelic face, angelic smile, vioce and angelic hands teaching us to make the angelic knot and prayer rope. I am honored to have you always in my prayers Ms. Sophia, for patiently, clearly and thoroughly helping me to learn how to make a prayer rope. I sincerely thank you. May +God+ bless you always.
My goodness, never realized how labor intensive this prayer chain is. I'm grateful to my Mom bringing one back from Greece. Thank you Sophia.
I like "prayerful breads" being your "little painting". That's sweet.
This video is a great resource for anyone seeking to learn how to make Orthodox prayer ropes. Please send us photos of the prayer ropes you create!
It would be great to credit and provide a link to the chanted prayer for reference. Thank you.
I had to watch this video 100 times but I think I have it now, may Christ bless you!
المجد لك يارب المجد لك يارب المجد لك يارب
ربنا والهنا يسوع المسيح يا ابن الله الحى ارحمني انا عبدك الخاطئ امين
Too tired to attempt this right now, but thank you! I had set out to make a 300 knot rope (my first ever rope) as a gift for my son last year, but got so discouraged. Your video makes it seem more attainable :)
Did you do it?
Did you ever complete it? What an amazing idea and I will do the same for my daughter.
My Joy, My Treasure, thank you for this video. I am Greek Orthodox. I make prayer ropes as well but I make them a different way. I have been wanting to make them this way as well. So, I am blessed to learn from your video. May God Bless you and your parish. Seraphim
Showing with two different light color threads might help illustrate how cords should flow.
God bless you, Sophia! Do you know who is chanting the Jesus Prayer in this video? It is absolutely beautiful!
God bless you
I learned how to do it from this video its very nice.
I also loved the background track if u can attach the link here 😍🤝
Thank you.
Thank you for sharing
Blessed Sophia, I miss you. Love you and thank you for making this.
I've learned how to make a chotky with 4 strands. Is there a difference between a 4 strand knot and the 2 strand knot? (liturgically speaking, obviously there are differences in the knotting )
Lol just make a shop and sell them on ebay no way I am going to make one of them
This is so beautiful and inspiring. I'm going to try and make one now. Thank you so much for sharing.💖
This is the most clear example I've seen so far, thank you!
The absolute joy i felt when i managed my first knot after hours.. and then despair when the second failed again 🫠😆
Funny how that little piece of string also teaches humility. In case I think I'm "all that and a bag of chips, too", all i need to do is get bested by a string to find out that I'm not.
Would love to get an updated tutorial!
Thanks you for showing how its made,im gona make one myself❤❤❤☦️
thank you for this video I've been trying to find the right measurements for diameter of string and for number of knots but few videos seem to give direct and clear instructions. please could you help by making a short video of for example of each of the different lengths including 33, 50, 100 knots and how long the length of string needed depending of mm eg; 1.5mm or 2 mm for each of the lengths . for example I would really like to make a 100 knot prayer rope and a 33 knot and I have a 1.5 mm chord and I have no idea how long the rope should be ...
Beautiful tutorial!
It was very helpful. On my way to my first prayer rope 😊
Who is singing the Jesus prayer?
I’ve been doing this since 23:20 it’s 2:30 and I still have not done more than 5 in one go 😢
What is the proper way to close the prayer rope if we do not a cross on the end?
If you choose not to do a cross, you can do the same method of using all the strings to create one knot at the end. You can also cut off the excess and super glue that edge closed, and super glue both ends together. I hope this helps!
This is hard
I was lost after 10 seconds.
Very nice video Sophia 💕💕
Thank you for this beautiful presentation, and God bless you!

Greetings from St. Gregory the Theologian Orthodox Church in Wappingers Falls, NY.
Greetings to our brothers and sisters in Christ, and asking for your prayers!
Thank you, from the deep of my heart. For months im looking to learn it, and now finally I think I can make mine. God bless you ❤
Don’t get discouraged. Mistakes are part of the process.
Nice Vid!
And it is worth ordering from the priest in the church to read the akathist for your name of St. Cyprian and St. Justine and of St. Archangel Michael against magic and all enemies visible and unvisible. This is if you are baptized Orthodox. There always were sorcerers even after Jesus said it is from devil they remaind in every country and on every second or third family something is put from a sorcerer. And when you intend to go to command the akathist in the church, such thoughts may appear: "Maybe tomorrow, or next week", "Maybe I'm such a freak and no one is watching me (girls or boys, if you can not anyways find a pair, or you can for some reason speak only with one girl or boy.)", "The life is this way with good times and bad times", " I am so (if you have impotence)". etc. These thoughts come from demons from sorcery spells because only the prayer of the priest can 100% protect from magic and enemies visible and invisible. Jesus Christ told the apostles(which are the first priests) "I give you the right to untie everything that is tied in heaven and on earth.". Faith and creed is opinion, is how somebody thinks with his head. Repent is changing and not auto-humiliation as many think. May be enherited soul ilnessses like despresia, schizofrenia, Tourette sindrom, insomnia, bifurcation of personality etc. as they are from soul illnesses. Firstly everyone must to eradicate schizofrenia, depression etc. from him and after that to planify making children, in order that they will not jump from balconie, have blood cancer, be born bodytobody joined twins or two headed and etc. These soul illnesses can be healed by eucharisty. In the afternoon before eucharist day you have to read " The prayers before eucharisty" where are asked from eucharisty such things like: soul and body healing, sins forgiveness, protection from devils etc. It is better to go to confession in the morning in the day of eucharisty(before eucharisty)because from evening to morning everyone can make the same sins again and again and also other bigger sins. If not to forgive someone who asked for forgiveness it is not worth going to eucharisty because the sins will not be forgiven. Humbleness is awareness that in every doing you can fall and not auto-oppresion as most do and think, someone without auto-oppression is 100% free in moves in every direction, it is like a lion at freedom .Entering(submersion 3 times with a certain prayer and crossing yourself) in water springs of orthodox saints (which are near or in monasteries)give very much power and sureness to people with depression, panic attacks, schizofrenia and other soul illnesses, there are some springs of mother of God Maria that even heal soul illnesses.
We should bring back cubits which is the fore arm
prayer rope is not for fashion or for calming your hands . It's for counting . For example you ought to pray 120 times Áve, María, grátia pléna;- so you must count not to prononce less . Most of the rope has 30 or 40 beads
You are so kind and quiet at spirit, this says so much about you, God bless you, your are definitely special☦️🙏🏼
Amazing video my sister thank you very much
Wow. Difficult. I commend you.
Can someone please explain to me what to do after the bunny ear step. I put the knot in place but didn't understand what to do with the next step on how to get rid of the bunny ears.
I think 11 yards is way to much based on other videos!
Amazing well done video. Clear steps and explanation but for the life of me I cannot get it. As soon as I start to tighten it looks fine but the ears don’t adjust
Haha. Got it!!! 1 zillion ties later. Boy this helped my patience and perseverance. Thank you for a great tutorial.
How much cord should I use for a 100 knot one???
Hello
Did you already figure out how to add the elastic cord to the rope?
💜
I have found a method that works well for me when attaching a Cross, or Crucifix to a knotted Prayer Rope, it is thus:
1: Tie a fairly loose four strand diamond knot.
2: Proceed to pass the four strands through the eye typically found on Crosses, preferably in opposite directions.
3: Thread the aforementioned strands back through the center of the knot.
4: The whole arrangement may be secured by using the strands that are now coming out the top of the knot to tie another four strand diamond knot above the original. However, one may use alternate knots that may be preferable.
I hope the above was helpful, and not explained too badly.
Post Scriptum: I would recommend having a fid, or marlin-spike to help with the tying, adjusting, and tightening of the knots.
Thank you for making this great video.
Please tell me what size satin cord you use.
Its so hard to do it I tried it like 100 Times and I still struggle to figure out how to make a knot.
Quero fazer mas não entendo inglês, vou tentar.
Thank you
It really would help alot if you went slower!!! 🤗
Hello there. I usually use the speed slowing facility. Click on cog symbol and there are various speeds available.
Beautiful video, and an incredible introduction the the Jesus Prayer and the prayer rope.
Where can I find the recording of your background track?
I don't intend any snark when I say, "You can sing it yourself".
It’s not the same one but close.

I’m still looking for the one used here.
I am somewhat crafty and enjoy the video thing I am not Orthodox but I came here to watch the video and with great interest but it's so sad to see the comments and I'm even thinking myself why does it have to be so complicated to work when it's to remind you key you into prayer and try to help you to not forget to pray and many other things could be said but when I see the comments man I just don't get it watching various Orthodox groups squabble Over The Prayer chords and the way they're not tied or not qualified to be used by other Orthodox groups now I'm not saying that this is wrong cuz Protestants we put little sticky tabs on the mirror in the bathroom are on the refrigerator in the kitchen to remind us of our prayers and scripture memorization but at least we don't squabble over sticky tabs on the refrigerator are on the dash of a car LOL
Don't you have Rosary that Catholic church does?
I see no one ever answered you.
This is the Orthodox equivalent. As she points it at the beginning, though, before there were today's OR prayer beads, monks would use what they had: small stones or pennies, notches in staffs, maybe larger seeds, whatever.
But this is our rosary.
@@JaguwarSimsI'm pretty sure we Orthodox can use others from even other denominations right? i.e. the Pater Noster Cord Rosary.
Cover you head lady
Here, we have a demonstration of someone that doesn’t get that some practices aren’t universal.
Hint: what you consider modest, may well not be what another considers modest.
In the Coptic Orthodox tradition, women cover their heads in the church during the divine services. In every Orthodox tradition, people abstain from publicly judging others on matters of piety.
This prayer rope is for Greek Orthodox and not for coptics
And an angel taught it to the monk from Mount Athos
Stop taking our heritage and ascribing it to you, and it does not belong to you
Did the angel say "Don't share this with other Christians!"?
Stop being silly.
@@TheJwbooth There are no other Christians, the only Christians are the orthodox "Greek Orthodox".
@@TheYoussefnowissary Tell that to the Syriac Orthodox, who still speak and hold services in an Aramaic dialect
We are very saddened by your comment, which was written in a spirit that is antithetical to both Christianity and our Orthodox faith. It does not benefit a person if he claims to be ‘Orthodox’, but shows no love towards others. Our faith is not like politics or a sports team where it’s all about “us versus them” and “we are better.” If you would do some basic research, you will see that the prayer rope, the Jesus Prayer, and indeed, Christian monasticism as a whole developed in the Egyptian desert along the Copts. They are part of our spiritual heritage and we are happy to share them with all people of faith and good will who yearn to come to the light of Orthodoxy. We will certainly pray for you.
I’m having a problem with the removal of all the strings but the ring string does it go behind or in front of all the strings u remove lol I’m frustrated lololol
