prayer cloth
Blessed healing textile
A prayer cloth is a small piece of fabric that has been blessed or prayed over, believed by some Christians to carry healing power or spiritual protection.
The practice draws from the New Testament account of cloths touched by the apostle Paul.
Recipients may place the cloth on their body or keep it nearby: The televangelist offered prayer cloths to donors.
The tradition is especially common in Pentecostal and charismatic churches.
