Handmade wooden bracelet with metal cross

Wooden bracelet

Handmade bracelet is woven by the monks of Mount Athos. The length of the bracelet is 18 cm; it consists of wooden grains. The bracelet has a metal cross woven into it, which makes it not just a piece of jewelry, but a Christian symbol of faith. The cross has an image of Virgin Mary with the Child Jesus. Inscription on the back of the cross: Άγιον Όρος (Holy Mountain).

Due to the rubber band, the bracelet is suitable for any wrist size.

Like all Athos handicrafts, the bracelets are woven by hand with diligence and unceasing prayer. Labor is an integral part of monastic life. According to tradition, each monk chooses work according to his liking and abilities; he then works daily, while praying incessantly. This is why every such piece of handicraft work is a priceless gift and a true blessing from the Holy Mountain.
