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. 6mm glass pearl prayer beads with 3mm aqua separator beads are combined with teal dividers on this komvoschinion, to remind us that through the waters of baptism we learn the pearls of our faith. We named this komvoschinion after Joan of Arc as a reminder that women, who often feel insignificant in the church, can be very strong in the faith and can fight for the truth as champions of that faith. The teal divider beads, bearing white flowers, are capped with teal Czech firepolished 3mm glass beads. The pewter cross is also a flowery design. The multitude of flowers symbolize women as well as the beauty of the faith. |  |

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. |
