IRISH PATER NOSTER CORD
Unlike a rosary or Orthodox prayer rope, a Pater Noster ("Our Father" in Latin) cord is a straight rope of beads with a cross at one end and tassel at the other. Originating in Ireland in the 8th century, the cord was a simplified way for lay people to share the prayer life of monks and nuns. Instead of memorizing and reciting 150 Psalms, the Our Father is repeated 50 times -- hence the 50 beads in a Pater Noster cord. With its green beads and olivewood Celtic cross, this cord pays homage to its Irish roots. Instructions and other prayers included. Approx. 24" long.
