Prayer beads

Prayer beads are strings of beads used in religious and spiritual practices to count and guide prayers, mantras or meditation. They usually consist of a series of beads that are passed through one by one while praying or meditating, often with a special starting or ending bead. Prayer beads are found in various religions and traditions, such as Islam (tasbih), Christianity (rosary) and Buddhism. They are made of materials such as wood, stone, glass or seeds. Thanks to their spiritual and practical function, prayer beads support concentration, rhythm and reflection during prayer moments.
