- In this short video I explain the symbolism of the Old Believer prayer rope, called Lestovka (steps), and how it is used. Spoiler: to grow closer to Christ.
I usually get mine Lestovki from here:
taplink.cc/les...
I now have two of them. For me and the physical work I do, the lestovka, made of leather, is far more practical and durable for me. I carry it in my pocket daily and pull it out throughout the day. The knot chotki easily tears and rips apart on me. Not the lestovka. And the symbolism connected to it is wonderful.
God Bless You Deacon Father Phillip !
A beautiful sacramental. Thank you, Batuschka. 🪔☦️ 🕊️
Thank you ☦️
blessings and peace to you brother.
There's a whole believer community in Woodburn Oregon. Someone to community members own fabric stores, there's sometimes you can find religious material like this.
Church of the Nativity old rite in Erie, Pennsylvania has lestovka and the bilingual (Old Slavonic and English) old prayer book.
That Lestovka is gorgeous
Dear Father Deacon. Thank you for the video. As the old Lestovkahad seven moveable counters sewn inside for keeping track of each turn of the ladder, does today's lestovka still have these counters, and do Old Believers still keep the old rule of 700 prayers each day? I have read that it was very common in the old day.
God bless you and thanks for these videos!
S
Some lestovki today do have the counters. One of mine has it, for instance. If Old Believers generally keep that rule, is hard to say. It is a traditional rule so some hopefully still do it.
How to order in English from the website please?
Very often did I take the prayer for granted, now do I actually take it seriously and integrate it.
I own one made in Ukraine and have begun including it in my daily prayers using the 12 steps during the "Lord have mercy" portion
A priest was making them in British Columbia, but I am not sure if he is still doing it. Stephan
I ordered one and it arrived today, it came from Russia although I used Amazon. What are the prayers you use on the rungs of the ladder.
Thank you very much !
JESUS is KING.
Do you know about the Old Believers in Alaska? Do they accept Orthodox from other parts of the US to live with them? Thanks
you would just have to research and make sure they are canonical. if they have a website or something link it and we'll check them out. not sure if there are canonical old rite russian orthodox churches in alaska
Where can I get the one from st seraphim of sarov? I would be very glad if Father could tell me, Z Bohom
how does one become ordained in the old believer Church? thank you
who are the 17 prophets? does this refer to the 5+12 books of the major and minor prophets? that doesn't really make sense since Jeremiah wrote both Jeremiah and lamentations, and there were many prophets (like Elijah and Elisha) that do not have a book.
12 minor prophets + 4 major prophets + John the Forerunner.
Is that lestovka available for purchase somewhere?
I ordered mine on Amazon and it came from Moscow
Any new videos coming soon? God bless

It looks like the link is dead.
Heart breaking to listen to someone trying to be religious and even saying the name Jesus, but lacking the most basic truths of Christianity. Yours is a false and useless practice that is not pleasing to God. There is no climbing by your own works to heaven. Saying a set number of prewritten prayers to atone for missing a service is utter nonsense. God created you with a mind and freedom of choice for the purpose of a relationship with Him as an intelligent being. He could create mindless creatures to repeat prayers in vain repetition but, He wanted more, a real relationship with you. Thank you for your sincerity but, please think about what you are doing. Read your Bibles and come to know Jesus who died for you and saves you by His grace alone.
What is vain about calling on the name of the Lord Jesus without ceasing?
Fanaticism is what this is
How so ?
What exactly do you mean by fanaticism? In which way this is fanaticism?
You say the same prayers that you can say on a chotke. Do you mean to the adherence to their faith culture the way that they were brought up ? Or because they don’t embrace any western weakness ?
Ngl you should come back to the one true church
He’s Russian Orthodox, he is part of the one holy catholic and apostolic church.
@@storr9623 sorry at the time I thought he was an old believer
@@DoomerDoxy no problem, I did too 😂 just ordered a lestovka from diveyevo!
@@storr9623 next time I’d recommend buying from an old rite shop if you like a traditional lestovka
