Agate Prayer Beads
The Prayerful Agate
Let your hands pray when the words won't come
You pray in silence and keep your faith private. Beads to move one by one, as the desert monks did long before the rosary.
Sileät rukoushelmet ilman ristiä tai mitalia, tehty pidettäviksi rukouksen aikana.
Lahjaksi sille, joka rukoilee hiljaa ja haluaa pitää jotain kädessään, ilman näkyvää uskonnollista merkkiä.

Kauan ennen rukousnauhaa erämaan munkit laskivat rukouksiaan helmillä. Sinun helmesi voivat kulkea sormiesi läpi samalla tavalla.

Size guide
Find your bracelet size
Mittaa kotona 2 minuutissa
Tarvitset paperisuikaleen (tai narun tai kengännauhan), kynän ja viivoittimen.
- Kierrä suikale ranteen ympäri juuri rannekyhmyn yläpuolelta, myötäilevästi mutta ei kireälle.
- Merkitse kynällä kohta, jossa pää menee päällekkäin.
- Aseta suikale tasaiselle alustalle ja mittaa päästä merkkiin: se on ranteesi ympärysmitta.
- Etsi ranteesi ympärysmitta alla olevasta taulukosta ja katso rannekorun pituus, istuva tai väljempi.
Onko sinulla jo hyvin istuva rannekoru? Aseta se tasaiselle alustalle lukko kiinni, mittaa se päästä päähän ja tilaa sama pituus.
Eikö viivoitinta löydy? Pankkikortti on 8,6 cm pitkä: laske, montako mahtuu suikaleen pituudelle.

How to wear it
Each red agate bead is 14 mm across and the bracelet weighs 40 g, so it has a real weight on the wrist. With no cross or medal, it can be worn with a suit, a sweater or workwear without drawing attention, and the beads fall naturally under the fingers when you pray.
Agate is a stone, so keep it dry: take it off before washing your hands, the shower, the gym and the pool, and wipe it with a dry cloth. Wear it alone or next to a watch on the other wrist; it suits men and women alike.
Questions
Is the agate natural?
Yes. The product page describes natural agate beads, polished smooth. Like any natural stone, each bead can vary slightly in color and banding.
How does a 40 g bracelet of 14 mm agate beads feel on the wrist?
Noticeable. Each red agate bead is 14 mm and the whole bracelet weighs 40 g, so you feel it, which helps when you hold the beads during prayer.
Can I use it to pray?
Yes. Move from one bead to the next with a short prayer, such as the Jesus Prayer or a Hail Mary. It has no fixed count like a rosary decade.
Can the red agate of The Prayerful Agate get wet?
Better not. Water and soap can dull the polish of the stone and wear the stringing over time, so take it off for the shower.
Do the 14 mm red agate beads look right on a man's wrist?
Yes. The design is unisex, and the large beads look strong on a man's wrist while staying simple on a woman's.
Why is there no cross on it?
It is meant to be discreet. Some people prefer to pray with simple beads, or to wear a bracelet that does not show a religious sign at work.
I'm so angry at God since my wife died that I can't pray. I can't even look at a cross right now. But I also don't want to lose it completely. Is there anything for someone like me?
Anger at God is still talking to God. The Psalms are full of it: 'How long, Lord? Will you forget me forever?' (Psalm 13:1). You will not shock him. If a cross is too much today, it is fine to set it down for a while. The Prayerful Agate, is a strand of large smooth red agate beads with no cross or medal, made simply to be held. Christians counted prayers on beads long before the rosary took its form, and some of those prayers were just one word. Yours can be 'why,' or her name, over and over. That is enough to stay in the conversation.

Its meaning
Prayer beads before the rosary
Long before the rosary took its present form, Christians counted prayers by hand.
The early desert monks are said to have used knots, and Eastern Christians still pray with knotted prayer ropes, saying the Jesus Prayer one knot at a time. Beads came later and spread through the Middle Ages. This bracelet carries no cross or medal, so it reads as a simple string of red agate beads, 14 mm each and polished smooth. Some people keep it on the wrist and move from bead to bead during a short prayer; others wear it for...
Giving it as a gift
For someone who prays quietly and likes to hold something while doing it, or who prefers a bracelet without a visible religious sign. It needs no particular occasion.
