    The expression memento mori (Latin "be aware of mortality") comes from ancient Rome. There was the ritual that behind the victorious general on the triumphal procession a slave stood or walked. He held a gold or laurel wreath over the head of the victorious one and admonished continuously with the following words:

    "Memento mori." (Remember that you will die.)

    "Memento te hominem esse." (Remember that you are human.)

    "Respice post te, hominem te esse memento." (Look around and consider that you are only human too.)

      The gate belongs to Rømø Church. ;)
      "Memento mori" means something like "Be aware of mortality"
