More Details

The St. Philomena Cord is usually worn like a belt (under clothing) or placed over the doorway of a sick child.  We made it long enough for both.  It has classic red and white in a tight weave with two knots.  The knots represent her virginity and martyrdom.   Each strand has an 85-pound resistance strength. You can hand-wash it or put it in the washing machine (inside a washable laundry bag). It measures 60 inches to fit over a doorway. You may find it too long to wear as a belt. You can order a shorter one or shorten it.  Before cutting, add a new overhand knot. Trim the ends, then melt or glue the cord tips.

Bracelet Version

Our St. Philomena Cord Bracelet (linked below) is the same cord. It is a bracelet version of the same devotion.

About the Devotion

Saint Jean Vianney (The Cure of Ars) suggested the pious practice of wearing the Cord of St. Philomena. When we pray for her protection, we can count on her intercession. When we wear it in her honour, we have her aid for defense against impurity, disbelief or lack of faith, and sickness. 

It is an official Catholic devotion approved by Pope Leo XIII in 1893.  There are special graces (indulgences) attached to it. A priest can give it a formal blessing, as found in the Roman Ritual.  Her feast day is August 11th.

Prayer When Wearing the Cord

O Saint Philomena Virgin and Martyr, pray for us, 
so that through your powerful intercession,
we may receive the purity of spirit and heart,
which leads to the perfect Love of God.
Amen.

About Our Handmade Chaplets

Packaging

Each chaplet comes with a sturdy prayer card.  It has the full text of the prayers and explains which prayers to say on which beads.

Suggestion

It is a good idea to store your chaplets and prayer cards together.  Since chaplets have unique bead groupings and prayers, the prayer card and chaplet need to stay together so that you can continue to use them.
