Lestovka
Lestovka (Russian: лeстовка) is a special type of prayer rope made of leather, once in general use in old Russia, and is still used by Russian Old Believers today, such as the Russian Orthodox Christians and Russian Orthodox Oldritualist Church, Pomorian Old-Orthodox Church and Edinoverians, whether Orthodox or Greek Catholic. == Form and symbolism == The Lestovka is traditionally constructed of leather, with "steps" made by looping leather around small twigs sections on which paper scrolls with Jesus Prayer are wound.
