Hang this print in your home all through Lent to call to mind your mortality and spur you on in your Lenten disciplines!

“Memento Mori” means “Remember your death,” and that’s what we do on Ash Wednesday. Ashes aren’t a sign of our sin, but rather of our mortality, and of the fact that we should live in a way that makes us feel prepared for death. When the priest makes the cross on our foreheads (or sprinkles us with ashes), he says, “Remember, man, you are dust, and unto dust you shall return.”

Ash Wednesday is when we remember that because of the original sin committed in the Garden of Eden by Adam and Eve, we are mortal. We will die. It’s not necessarily pleasant to think about, but it’s just the right motivation to get our acts together as we head into Lent.

This 5x7” print is professionally printed in the USA on smooth 110 lb cardstock, frame this print as a reminder throughout the season of Lent!
