Grim Reaper Gallery

Death as a sentient entity is a concept that has existed in many societies since the beginning of history. In Western cultures, death is often given the name the "Grim Reaper", and shown as a skeletal figure carrying a large scythe, and wearing a midnight black gown, robe or cloak with a hood, or sometimes, a white burial shroud. Usually when portrayed in the black-hooded gown, only his eyes can be seen.

  5. i do not worship death as an entity. indeed i do not worship him at all. but i beleive he/she is AN entity. one wouuld be better of respecting him rather then not. we all die in life . it is the inevitability of all life.
    as i say
    "life is temporary. death is eternal."
