Course description

This course introduces you to the rosary, which plays a significant role, for example, when repeating the Jesus Prayer. Orthodox rosaries are most often knotted from woolen thread and are often 10, 33 or 100 knots long. In the course, you will learn the purpose of the rosary and the basics of making it, under the guidance of the priest monk Alexander of Valamo. The course also offers the opportunity to participate in the Jesus Prayer service, where you can practice using the rosary. You can purchase the material used to make the rosaries from the school, so you have everything you need to start this journey that will enrich your own spiritual life!

The Epassi mobile application is used as a payment method for this course.
