Prayer shawls symbolize shelter, peace and spiritual sustenance. They are also called comfort shawls or peace shawls and are a simple, universal and enduring message of caring. The creation and presentation of a prayer shawl, like all acts of generosity, enriches the giver as well as the recipient. Compassion and the love of knitting/crocheting have been combined into a prayerful way of passing on love and joy. Many blessings are prayed into every shawl.
Shawls can be used during prayer or meditation, while undergoing medical procedures; during an illness and recovery, while ministering to others, as a comfort after a loss or in times of stress or bereavement. The making of a prayer shawl is a spiritual practice which embodies our thoughts and prayers for the receiver. It is a gift freely given with no strings attached. Made in prayer, the shawls are passed on hand-to-hand and heart-to-heart.
