Made from soft, high-quality silk, this scarf adds the perfect touch of everyday elegance.
Symbolic Design:
Skull Symbol: Reflecting the Memento Mori theme, the skull serves as a poignant reminder of our mortality and the infinite desire that the world cannot fulfill. It encourages us to look beyond this life, finding confidence in our daily struggles as each moment brings us closer to our eternal home.
Flowers of Life and Death: The scarf features flowers that symbolize the call to die to self and rise in Christ, echoing St. John the Baptist’s message: “He must increase and I must decrease” (John 3:30). The design reflects the cyclical nature of life and death, with flowers blooming and fading as a metaphor for spiritual renewal.
Blue Butterfly: A symbol of resurrection, the blue butterfly floats near the skull, reaffirming the promise of new life and eternal grace.
Dark Penitential Background: The deep, reflective background reminds us of our humble origins and ultimate return to dust, echoing Genesis 3:19: “Dust you are and dust you shall return.”
Gold Ornamentation: The gold detailing in the corners pays reverence to those who have passed and expresses hope for eternal life. Inspired by the gold accents found on sick-call crucifixes used during the Anointing of the Sick, this detail serves as a reminder of the sacredness of our journey and the grace available to us.
