Medieval Memento Mori - The Morbid & Macabre

It is Spooky Season! To fit the time of year we decided to discuss medieval memento mori -- reminders of Death-- and how they are depicted in the middle ages. We also think about Death in our current moment, as well as how we relate to and contemplate Death in our own lives.
