The oblong hollow metal Cruciform beads on this 21.5 inch Anglican prayer bead necklace are stamped with a Byzantine design and glazed green. The necklace has round transparent green glass Week beads, oblong solid black glass spacer beads, and a black jet encrusted gunmetal filigreed cross. It is long enough to be worn as a necklace and a lovely statement of faith.
Amethyst is traditionally worn to guard against drunkeness, fears, and self-deception. This “power stone” is used to increase positive spiritual feelings, overcome fears and cravings, relieve headaches, and focus energy during the healing process.Thus, in this prayer bead necklace, amethyst is the perfect stone to combine with the inspirational Week beads’ words.
Protestant (Anglican) Prayer Beads are similar to a Catholic Rosary, but for Protestants to use during prayer. Unlike the Catholic Rosary, which has a set pattern for its use, Protestant Prayer Beads may be used any way that feels right for you. The circlet of Prayer Beads has four sections containing seven medium-sized “week” beads. Each section is separated by a larger, “Cruciform” bead. The circle begins and ends at the tail, which contains another of the medium-sized beads (which may be used as a Resurrection/listening bead), an invitatory Cruciform bead, and a cross or other symbolic pendant.
Purchase of these prayer beads includes a velvet storage pouch and a 16-page “Anglican Prayer Beads” booklet by Kristi Lyn Glass containing pictures, history, symbolism, instructions, and nine sample prayers. Also included is a lifetime string-replacement guarantee: If your Prayer Beads become unstrung at any time, simply return all the beads to Kristi Lyn Glass, and she will restring them for free.
