This tee was inspired by a Catholic Church in Monterosso, Italy named "Mortis et Orationis Confraternitas" which transaltes to Brotherhood of Death and Prayer. The Brotherhood is a religious society whose main purpose is to look after the souls of the dead. The brotherhood was founded in the late 16th century to assume the responsibility of burying the dead, especially the poor who would not otherwise have been afforded a Christian burial. The Brotherhood offers prayers for the souls of the dead to move beyond Purgatory into Heaven with Christ. This brotherhood has Monterosso reflects the Brotherhood’s longstanding devotion to this purpose. This tee showcases the Mortis et Orationis emblem that is seen on the walls of the Church in Italy — a skull and crossbones bearing two hourglasses reminding us of our limited time on earth. In Catholic tradition, death is not to be feared as it unites souls in a state of grace with God for eternity.
