lux aeterna
Everlasting sacred radiance
Lux aeterna is Latin for "eternal light," a phrase from the Catholic Requiem Mass prayer for the dead: Lux aeterna luceat eis (May eternal light shine upon them).
The phrase appears in sacred choral music and has become shorthand for transcendent, radiant peace—particularly in connection with death and the afterlife.
