Cords/Cinctures/Girdles

[chotock]

I have decided to wear the Cord (Girdle) of St. Joseph. I just have one question…How do I wear it Do I tie it like my cincture when I serve at the Altar? That would not seem to bright an idea as it would just come undone under my clothing. I keep looking for directions on how to tie one the way one of our priests when he celebrates the Mass, but no luck.

Any ideas?

Hello,
I wear the St. Joseph cincture and since its worn under the clothing I only make it long enough to hang about 2 1/2 in. with the knots in it so that it doesn’t get in the way.
As far as how to tie it: that’s up to you but I just use a simple square knot.

Is the St Philomena cord similar to this?

In every aspect except colour.

I don’t recall the St. Philomena cord having 7 knots.
