Anglican prayer beads

This Anglican devotion has spread to other Christian denominations, including Methodists and the Reformed.

When the loop of an Anglican prayer bead set is opened into a circular shape, the "cruciform" beads form the points of a cross within the circle of the set, hence the term.

The beads used can be made of a variety of materials, such as precious stones, wood, coloured glass, or even dried and painted seeds.

[3] Anglican prayer bead sets are made with a variety of crosses or, occasionally, crucifixes.

The entire circle may be done thrice, which signifies the lifetime of Jesus Christ and the Holy Trinity.

The Weeks Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, Have mercy on me, a sinner.
