Prayer Beads (also commonly called worry beads) are used by various cultures the world over for meditation, protection from negative energy and to relieve stress.  The use of Prayer Beads as a tool of meditation is as old as human history and they are present in nearly every culture.  Beads are among the earliest human ornaments, dating back to Africa in10,000 BC.  Over the centuries various cultures have made beads from a variety of materials from stone and shells to clay.[1] The English word bead derives from the Old English noun bede which means a prayer.[2]  The exact origins of Prayer Beads remain uncertain, but a statue of a holy Hindu man with beads dates to the 3rd century BC[3].  Interestingly enough, the use of Prayer Beads as such are not found within the Jewish tradition, perhaps because of its association with other religions.  However, while not specifically used as counting device, many Jews touch the knots on the tzitzits attached to their tallit (prayer shawl) at specific points in their prayers.[3]
