See that red string tied around Madonna's wrist? Or the one Paris Hilton wore with a white frock at a runway show? That's prayer rope fashion, everyone, or shall we call it the kaballah bracelet which includes a heart-shaped lucky charm to keep us safe from harm. Lately, nonetheless, versions of this religious accessory have been seen with hand, eye, and even coin pendants designed stylishly either in gold or silver hues. Some do have a cross or heart pendant but the string remains thin, whether it has been filled with red beads or bare in plain red rope. That's why having it on makes you feel like you're not wearing anything at all. Celebrities, as usual, take the lead in prayer rope fashion and it's no surprise that this blood-hued prayer bracelet is being geared greatly.
According to sources, this scarlet thread is supposed to be worn on the left hand which protects the wearer from the Evil eye that symbolizes cruel stares and mean glances from persons who believe they have a reason to wish you bad luck, or anyone who intends to hurt you in any way. And in a world where lots of injustices take place, who wouldn't want this kind of protection? People nowadays don't believe in God any other Almighty Being, nor becoming part of any religion.
Others have stopped believing, while some don't know what to believe in- the world that offers beautiful, yet fleeting things or the Church that encourages people to leave all these possessions, take up their cross (to struggle) and follow the Will of the Lord? At the end of the day, reality still bites. People would look for miracles that they think would save them from poverty, pain, violence, etc. Man always wants to see to believe, and it is easier for them to put their faith on prayer ropes for its visibility and functionality as shield for bad luck. This is the secondary reason why prayer rope bracelets, rose to a higher level and became a mass trend.
The first is, of course, fashion. Yet wearing it alone won't result in wonders if you don't pray. With this special red string bracelet, you're not only investing in fashion, but in your faith as well. Upon getting one for yourself, or for a friend, remember that it should be worn on the left hand, which receives positive energy. And it is best worn by the whole family for good fortune and blessings which will be inherited by later generations.
