Tasbih is a string of beads manipulated with one or two hands and used to pass time in Greek and Turkish culture. Unlike the similar prayer beads used in many religious traditions, worry beads have no religious or ceremonial purpose.
Worry beads have several uses in Greek and Turkish culture, including;
- relaxation, enjoyment, and generally passing the time.
- as a car mirror hanging accessories.
- as an amulet, to guard against bad luck.
- used by people who wish to limit smoking.
- as a mark of power and social prestige.
