Comboskini with a medallion "IC.XС.NIKA", which is translated from Greek as "Jesus Christ conquers"❗️
The word Κομποσκοίνι "komboskini" itself comes from two Greek words: kομποσ "kombos" - a knot and σκοίνι "skini" - a rope.
Komboskini are the subject of prayer for monks, clergy and laity of the Orthodox Christian religion.
Each element of this bracelet has its own symbolic ✨ meaning:
Sheep wool, the traditional material of the rosary, reminds us that all Christians are the flock of Christ, the Good Shepherd.
“I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep” (John 10:11).
Each knot of the bracelet consists of 9 intersections of threads - 9 crosses, that is, 9 Angelic ranks.
Black color symbolizes mourning for sins:
Is man more righteous than God? and is a man purer than his Maker?” (Job 4:17).
Such bracelets are woven only by Athonite monks, who are immaculate and have reached a certain spiritual level. In the process of weaving, they constantly read prayers, wishing the wearer to come to the true Faith.
The bracelet is worn on the wrist of the left hand as a sign that it is closer to the ❤️ heart.
