Some people prefer their Komvoschinion divided every 10 beads. St. Basil the Great used a Komvoschinion with this configuration. Ours have three additional prayer beads above the cross, in honor of the Holy Trinity. This makes a total of 103 beads. This chotki was designed with the crucifixion in mind. The 6mm riverstone prayer beads represent Our Lord's Body, because the warm natural color is almost the color of flesh, and because the name "riverstone" reminds us that Our Lord is the source of our river of life, and our chief cornerstone. The 8mm red flower jasper divider beads represent His Blood flowing from His wounds, while the red jasper cross indicates that as His Blood flowed, it covered the cross. |  |

Any artisan komvoschinia on this page (above) will be shipped inside a black velveteen pouch, with the lovely acrylic gift box pictured here. Standard komvoschinia (below) will be shipped in a black velveteen pouch. All komvoschinia are shipped with two sets of instructions: one for praying them in the traditional Eastern Rite manner, and the other in a more latinized "chaplet" style. (These instructions were developed for use with the chotki; if the komvoschoinion is prayed differently, please contact me with that information and I will gladly create new instructions specifically for use with the komvoschinion.) Purchases over $200 will receive FREE shipping. |
