Memento mori is a Latin phrase translated as "Remember your mortality", "Remember you must die" or
"Remember you will die" - literally " [in the future] remember to die"...This finds ritual expression in the Catholic rites of Ash Wednesday when ashes are placed upon the worshipers' heads with the words "Remember Man that you are dust and unto dust you shall return."
