Tenebrae is a Latin word meaning "darkness" or "shadows", and it is a service that has been practiced by the Church since medieval times. The Tenebrae service is an ancient Christian tradition that is often celebrated after dark on the evening of Good Friday.
Tenebrae is a somber service that remembers Jesus' suffering and death.
Tenebrae is a religious service characterized by gradual extinguishing of candles and by a "strepitus" or "loud noise" taking place in total darkness near the end of the service.
Worshipers leave in silence to ponder the impact of Christ's death and await the celebration of the coming Resurrection.
Come join us on Good Friday evening, April 15 at 7:00 PM for Tenebrae, a service of light. Come see why "This Jesus Must Die!"
