**Limited Edition** Available only October 1 - November 30.
These somber scents of clay, stone, and stillness are inspired by the feast of All Souls' Day, observed on November 2.
Behind the Inspiration
"Memento mori" is Latin for "Remember death," sometimes also translated as "Remember you will die." This is a solemn reminder that one day we will stand in judgment for what we did and who we became. The scents of clay, stone, and stillness call to mind our burial and our waiting for Christ's return to raise the living and the dead.
Memento Mori is also a joyful reminder of the promise of the life to come: "For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life" (Jn 3:16).
And finally, it is motivating, because keeping death before our eyes helps us strive to live a full and virtuous life while we can.

Holy Faith collection | 45+ hour burn time | 6 oz. candle
You’ll get the cleanest, longest, and safest burn from your candle with a few simple steps:
- Always trim the wick before lighting to 1/8”–1/4”
- Burn until the melted wax reaches edge to edge, or very nearly, to reduce tunneling
- Burn only up to 4 hours at a time
- Always keep a burning candle in sight, away from flammable materials, out of drafts, out of reach of pets and children, and on a heat-safe surface
- Keep out of direct sunlight
Peace inducing scent, high quality wax, thoughtful and practical packaging...and an intention/Saint for everyone! I highly recommend CORDA. 10/10.
I loved my candles so much I order more!
Beautiful candle with an amazing scent that burns evenly.
Thank you for the feedback on the burn of the candle Judith! We appreciate the review! - the CORDA team
Perfect candle for prayer -- subtle, earthy. Wonderful fragrance that I love when praying for holy souls. I wasn't sure what to expect, but am so glad I ordered it.
I loved burning it and thinking of the loved ones who've gone before us
I light this memento mori every night and say my prayers for all our sweet ones who are gone. The smell is wonderful and it holds such special meaning!
I wasn't sure what to expect with this candle, but I have found the scent perfect for recalling my loved ones. The scent is clay/powder and I find it calming. It is perfect for November!
I am slowly making my way through each candle and I really love them all. The scents are spot on to the candle theme and I am definitely a fan

Thanks for the review Jillian! - the CORDA team
I've purchased a bunch of Corda candles, and really happy with this scent. The scent is a mix of incense, earthly tones. Reminiscent of Ash Wednesday, Lenten, Holy Week smells. It works perfectly for the little area we have with pictures, prayer cards for those who have died.
