I'm sure it does ... but since most of us are Latin Rite, and haven't a clue what it is, why don't you enlighten us?

Thank you.

It is a rosary-type device used by the Russian Old Believers and some Byzantine Catholics on which one may say either Hail Marys or "Lord Jesus Christ Son of God Have Mercy Upon Me the Sinner."

The focus of the Lestovka and the Prayer Rope, another Byzantine rosary-like devotion, is entrance into full communion with God's divine energies and his process of Theosis.
