Embrace the rich heritage of Russian spirituality with our handcrafted Old Rite Prayer Rope, also known as the Lestovka or "Ladder." This timeless piece of religious art is a cherished tradition among Old Ritualist Orthodox Christians, offering a profound connection to their faith. Crafted from premium leather, the Lestovka is more than just a prayer tool; it is a symbol of devotion and spiritual guidance.

Unveiling the Intricacies of the Lestovka

The Lestovka is a testament to the intricate symbolism of Orthodox faith. It features four lapostki, or leaves, representing the four Evangelists, while the stitching around them signifies the teachings of the Gospel. The seven movable pieces within symbolize the seven Great Mysteries of the Church. The rope's design is further enhanced with three steps at each end and three more on the rope itself, totaling nine, which signify the nine orders of angels and the nine months the Mother of God carried Christ. The empty space after the juncture represents the earth, and the counters are carefully arranged to represent the twelve Apostles, the thirty-nine weeks of the Theotokos' pregnancy, the thirty-three years of the Lord's life, and the seventeen prophets who foretold Christ's coming.

Practical Applications and Benefits

The Old Rite Prayer Rope is not just a religious artifact; it is a practical tool for daily devotion. Whether you are a seasoned Orthodox follower or a seeker of spiritual depth, the Lestovka can be a meaningful companion on your journey. It allows for the repetition of any prayer, but is most commonly used for the Jesus Prayer, a powerful and transformative prayer that brings peace and clarity.
