Esparza, Daniel. «Ever heard of the Orthodox rosary called a “komboskini” or “prayer rope”?» (en anglès). Aleteia, 11-02-2017. [Consulta: 14 febrer 2017]. «Generally, these prayer strings (called komboskini in Greek, chotki or vervitsa in Russian and misbaha in Arabic) typically have between 100 and 150 knots, although some with 33 knots can also be found (symbolizing the age of Christ at His death), as well as others with 41 knots (the number of lashes inflicted on Jesus) or 64 knots (according to tradition, the age of the Virgin Mary upon her Assumption into heaven).»
