What’s in a number? 33 beads, for example … four sets of seven beads. Seven? The number of days a week. Four? The number of seasons in a church year. Four “cruciform” beads. Four seasons in the solar year. Four Gospels. A single invitatory bead above the cross, the 33rd bead, is an invitation to prayer.
Anglican Prayer Beads are a relatively new form of contemplative prayer. The 33-bead prayer beads design was created in the 1980s by an Episcopal priest but people from many faith traditions use these beads. The cool thing about being new-ish: people get to decide how to use them. Enrich personal prayer life. Start a prayer circle. Choose prayers to assign to each bead.
Crafted from high-quality materials, our prayer beads are both durable and beautiful. Beads are strung on long-lasting nylon-coated microfilament wire. The beads are smooth to the touch, comfortable to hold, and easy to use. Crosses in different styles from Latin to Celtic ensure customer preference.
Whether you are new to prayer beads or a devotee, our prayer beads will surely become an essential part of your spiritual toolkit. And … with over 50 different beads to choose from, there’s bound to be one (or three) that speak to you. Start your FCB collection today!
