Frequently Asked Questions

The Grim Reaper is a personification of death depicted as a skeletal figure wearing a dark hooded cloak and carrying a scythe, used to 'reap' the souls of the dying. The imagery developed in medieval Europe during the Black Death (14th century), merging older traditions of Death as a human figure with the scythe symbolism of harvest time — the idea being that death harvests human lives just as a farmer harvests grain. The image has since become a universal cultural icon.
