The bead with a suspension bracket in the form of a bunch symbolizes a fragment from the Scripture from Ioann (15:1) in whom the deepest thought on the force of communication of God with everyone and everyone good luck opens. "I есмь a rod, and you are branches; who stays in Me, and I in him, that bears a lot of fruit; because without Me you can't do anything". Here is how Evfimy Zigaben, the Byzantine theologian and the monk, interprets this fragment:
Jesus Christ explains a parable, and pay attention that He speaks: to an izha there will be in Me, and Az in him, that will create a fruit мног. Often someone stays in Christ, uniting to Him by means of belief, but Christ doesn't stay in him, is averted from him because he carries out unworthy life. Such person bears fruits, but very small, having made one any or two good deeds. And in vineyards we see such branches which not especially please the wine-grower, bringing any pathetic brushes.
As without Me you can't do anything — like branches which don't borrow force from a root. I have told earlier: you can't bear a fruit if you aren't in Me, now Jesus Christ predicts also danger for this purpose who won't be in Him".
