Please join us in person or via livestream for this very

Tenebrae. Tenebrae (plural of the Latin for darkness
or shadows) is a Christian religious service celebrated
by the Western Church. The liturgy of Tenebrae is
characterized by the gradual extinguishing of candles
while a series of readings and psalms are chanted or
recited depicting Jesus' last hours on Earth. The pur-
pose of the Tenebrae service is to recreate the emo-
tional aspects of the passion story, so this is not sup-
posed to be a happy service, because the occasion is
not happy. It starts out with the church in candlelight.
There are as many candles as there are readings and
psalm parts, plus a final Christ candle. The readers
and psalmist go up one at a time and a candle is ex-
tinguish as each part concludes until only the Christ
candle remains. Then, Jesus' last words on the cross
are recited or sung. The Christ candle is removed,
leaving the congregation in near total darkness-and
near total devastation. The service recreates the be-
trayal, abandonment, and agony of the events; and it
is left unfinished, because the story is not over until
