memento mori
''Memento mori'' (Latin: "remember that you can die"〔(Literally 'remember (that you have) to die' ), Oxford English Dictionary, Third Edition, June 2001.〕) is the medieval Latin theory and practice of reflection on mortality, especially as a means of considering the vanity of earthly life and the transient nature of all earthly goods and pursuits. It is related to the ''ars moriendi'' ("The Art of Dying") and related literature. ''Memento mori'' has been an important part of ascetic disciplines as a means of perfecting the character, by cultivating detachment and other virtues, and turning the attention towards the immortality of the soul and the afterlife.〔See Jeremy Taylor, ''Holy Living and Holy Dying''.〕
In art, ''mementos mori'' are artistic or symbolic reminders of mortality.〔 In the European Christian art context, "the expression... developed with the growth of Christianity, which emphasized Heaven, Hell, and salvation of the soul in the afterlife."
