Join us at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow (Friday, April 19) for our Good Friday "Tenebrae" Service. Tenebrae means “darkness” or “shadows”. Tenebrae is a meditation on Christ’s suffering. After each reading a candle is snuffed out and the lights are lowered, reminding us of the depth of Christ’s suffering. After the last reading about Jesus’ burial, the Christ candle is removed, and the silence is broken by a loud sound which signifies the tumult of the earth and the rending of the curtain at Christ’s death. Finally, the Christ candle is restored as we anticipate Christ’s resurrection, and we silently leave with his blessing.
