It is believed that the birthplace of the tradition of tie a red thread on the hand is Israel. Many travelers, after visiting this country, return from there with such threads on their hands. In Israel, it is believed that a red thread bracelet is the symbol of one of the ancestors of the Jewish race, Rachel. This thread was wrapped in her tomb. And now it gives strength and protects from evil. At the same time, in Israel, only monks should tie it.
Slavic roots
But, the history of the appearance of the red rope on the hand is connected not only with Israel. Our Slavic ancestors also in olden times believed in her great healing power and used the magic bracelet as a guard against the evil eye. He was tied up for a speedy recovery, with dislocations and pain in the joints. After recovery, he was burned on a candle. Such a thread bandaged the babies from evil eye and spoilage, and also tied small children from illnesses. Such an amulet was called a red thread of fate. A thin woolen thread was used to stop bleeding and even as a remedy for warts.
In Eastern cultures
In many Oriental cultures, there is also a red rope as a talisman. So, for example, in Indian culture on a hand it is worn as a sign of kindred love. The red thread in them is called - rakhi and means the great power of uniting family ties. With its help, you can live with any person who is dear to the heart.

In the current conditions of rapid growth of progress, people are increasingly seeking spiritual support and a way of maintaining internal strength and health.
