33 bead Chotki. 6mm onyx beads with a red howlite cross.
Most people know what a Rosary is but few are familiar with the Eastern Catholic/Orthodox Chotki. Traditionally Chotki are made of knotted wool, but they are known to be made in a variety of beads, usually stone or semi-precious gems. Chotki, also known as Komboskini in Greek, are used by Eastern Catholics and Orthodox Christians, to keep track of how many Jesus Prayers are said and a tool to aid in meditation. Chotki can be found in various sizes, including 33 knot or bead bracelets and long 150 bead or knot ropes.
