Komboskini

The name of the Greek komboskini reflects its essence and purpose: in Greek, kombos (κόμπος) means "knot", and skini (σχοινί) is a rope or cord.

Komboskini are braided in a special way: each knot consists of 9 crosses of cord, symbolizing the nine crosses, or nine angelic ranks. Often seed beads, little crosses or icons are woven into it. Komboskini are usually worn on the left hand, as it's closer to the heart. Believers often give them to family and friends to remember and pray for them.
