Bead «Lord, have mercy on me, Theotokos, save me. Prayer».

The large elongated bead is decorated with a plant ornament of the grapevine, the most ancient Christian symbol. «I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser». In the center of the bead are placed the words of prayers to Christ and the Mother of God: «Lord, have mercy on me» and «Theotokos, save me». These simple and short prayers help to focus the mind and turn thoughts to God, and to be strengthened in faith. The holy fathers advise repeating them as often as possible in any situation, in order to have in everything the support and help of God and His Most Pure Mother.
