Preferred term

prayer beads  

Definition(s)

  • Prayer beads are looped strands of wood, stone, berries, or glass beads that are used for chanting or recitation of prayers, hymns, or meditations. Practically, they allow the devotee to keep count of the repetition of prayer without losing focus on the prayer itself. [Source: Encyclopedia of Global Religion; Prayer Beads]
