Inscription found in the catacombs. The term memoria came to mean memorial, monument, altar, or church, erected in remembrance of the departed; also called confession.

It is not exclusively of Catholic use, but to the Catholic it means pious remembrance of the dead and prayers for their repose and happiness.
