The name Tenebrae (the Latin word for “darkness” or “shadows”) is an extended meditation upon, and a prelude to, the events in our Lord’s life between the Last Supper and the Resurrection. The most conspicuous feature of the service is the gradual extinguishing of candles and other lights in the church until only a single candle, considered a symbol of our Lord, remains. Please note that while children are welcome, no childcare will be available for this service and it may be challenging for younger children.
