Collection: Memento Mori | Allhallowtide | All Souls

Allhallowtide is three days of commemoration that includes All Hallows Eve (October 31, commonly shortened to Hallowe’en), All Saints Day (All Hallows Day, November 1), and All Souls Day (November 2). We pray for the souls of those who have gone before us, and pray for the intercession of the saints, who echo our petitions to the Lord.  

Memento mori is a Latin phrase meaning ‘remember you must die’. Memento mori paintings - featuring a skull and often flowers, became popular in the seventeenth century, in a religious movement that focused on earthly life as a preparation for the everlasting life.
