Strong's Lexicon mnémosunon: Memorial, remembrance Original Word: μνημόσυνον Word Origin: Derived from the Greek root μνήμη (mnémē), meaning "memory" or "remembrance." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - זִכָּרוֹן (zikaron): Often translated as "memorial" or "remembrance," used in contexts such as Exodus 12:14 and Leviticus 23:24. Usage: The term "mnémosunon" refers to something that serves as a reminder or memorial. In the New Testament, it is used to denote acts or offerings that are remembered before God, often in the context of prayers or charitable deeds. It emphasizes the idea of a lasting remembrance in the sight of God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, memorials were significant for preserving the memory of individuals or events. This concept carried over into Jewish and early Christian traditions, where acts of charity and offerings were seen as memorials before God. Such acts were believed to invoke God's remembrance and favor, reflecting a deep-seated belief in the enduring impact of righteous deeds.
