The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

What is the Orthodox equivalent to the Rosary? Do they have a prayer routine other than the Jesus Prayer?

We still use prayer ropes, but I think the closest equivalent to the Rosary would be the Lestovka.

https://orthodoxwiki.org/Prayer_rope

>Another form of prayer rope was formerly in use in Russia, and is still preserved among the Old Believers. It is called lestovka ("ladder"), and is arranged asymmetrically. Whereas the more common 100-knot prayer rope is divided into four sets of 25 knots each, separated by larger knots or beads (dividers), the lestovka consists of counters consisting of loops of cloth or leather often containing short lengths of small-diameter dowel, arranged in groups as follows: 12 (for the number of the Apostles); 39 (for the weeks of the pregnancy of the Theotokos); 33 (for the years of Christ's life on earth), and 17 (for the number of prophets). These sections are separated by dividers larger than the counters, and there are three further divider-sized counters at each end, for a total of nine such large counters (for the nine ranks of angels); thus there are a total of 101 counters plus nine large ones. Where the ends join, they are sewn to four triangular leaves (for the four Gospels) sewn together two and two, the upper pair overlapping the lower. The lestovka is used with the Jesus prayer, but also for counting litany responses, which will often total 12 or 33; for this purpose it is better suited than the more familiar variety of prayer rope.

Some Orthodox pray using beads like the Rosary, they just substitute the Jesus Prayer for the Hail Mary.

Saint seraphim rule of the Theotokos, it's even more focus on the virgin than the rosary. You can pray the rosary without the new addition like fatima prayer and salve regina as an orthodog too
