HISTORY:
Memento Mori are symbols or objects which are a traditional addition to a rosary or chaplet, intended for the living as a reminder of the brevity of life. They are not meant to be morbid, haunting or promote fear – they are intended as a reminder to get on with living life to the fullest while you can.

The use of symbolic skulls in rosaries & chaplets dates all the way back to the late middle ages (1050 – 1500). They were popular in Italy, Germany, and Mexico with priests, nuns and monks – and those who wanted a visible expression of their piety.
