I have at least two sets of prayer beads, but I've found that using my hands is the easiest and effective. Counting the joints (and fingertips) on one hand is 19, and using each finger (and thumb) on the other hand for each 19 (5 x 19) gives 95. Perhaps that is why the number 95 was chosen . . . . __________________________________________________ You are subscribed to Baha'i Studies as: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Baha'i Studies is available through the following: Mail - mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Web - http://list.jccc.net/read/?forum=bahai-st News - news://list.jccc.net/bahai-st http://www.escribe.com/religion/bahaist (public) http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] (public)
