In the Russian tradition, this type of prayer rope is called Lestovka. This is because this prayer rope resembles a ladder with flexible steps reminiscent of the ladder of spiritual ascent. It is handcrafted in soft black or brown leather, with the Jesus Prayer Scroll woven into every step.

Many Russian saints used the Lestovka for prayers. St. Seraphim of Sarov, St. Sergius of Radonezh, and St. Erasmus of Kiev Caves are some examples.

Lestovkas vary in length and the number of steps. This Lestovka prayer rope has 100 steps divided into 10 groups.

Length: 40cm.

Due to the fact that the prayer ropes are woven by hand, each product may slightly differ from the one shown in the photo.

This product is made by the residents of our farmstead shelter for disadvantaged men, where individuals with histories of addictions, criminal records, and homelessness get the chance to rebuild their lives by knowing God, developing their talents in productive work and learning to be good friends and companions. By ordering a Lestovka from us, you help us in this worthwhile ministry and make a contribution to the Men's Rehabilitation Center of St. Elisabeth Convent.

A prayer rope helps us turn our hearts and minds to Christ in prayer. In times of physical or mental danger, we pick it up and pray: “Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.” Angels, saints, the Virgin Mary, and our Lord Jesus Christ, deliver us from temptation and demonic influence. A prayer rope is a powerful tool for prayer.
