Remembrance was often associated with honoring the past, whether through oral traditions, written records, or physical monuments. In the Jewish tradition, remembrance was a key aspect of worship and covenantal faithfulness, as seen in the frequent calls to remember God's deeds and commandments.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>3420</b> <i>mnḗmē</i> (a feminine noun derived from <a href="/greek/3415.htm">3415</a> <i>/mnáomai</i>) – <i>remembrance</i>, especially in a particular aspect ("a lasting memory").
