Worry Beads: What the word means

The etymology of kompoloi (κομπολόι) – worry beads – comes from the word knot (=κόμπος) and speech (=λόγος).

Pope Gregory JG established the first Sunday of October as a day for the beads to be worn, because as the tradition says the Archangel Gabriel taught Saint Pachomius and Saint Dominic how to craft the chaplets.

In the Orthodox faith, beads were only worn by monks and clergymen. During the last few years, they are also popular among worshipers as they consist an essential complement of our daily prayer.
