Rest in peace (R.I.P.),[1] a phrase from the Latin requiescat in pace (Ecclesiastical Latin: [rekwiˈeskat in ˈpatʃe]), is sometimes used in traditional Christian services and prayers, such as in the Catholic,[2] Lutheran,[3] Anglican, and Methodist[4] denominations, to wish the soul of a decedent eternal rest and peace.
It became ubiquitous on headstones in the 18th century, and is widely used today when mentioning someone's death.
