Tenebrae Service

The word Tenebrae comes from the Latin word for "darkness" or "shadows." In another age, monks chanted the ancient psalms and lamentations in the darkness of the night or the very early morning. These early offices (Matins and Lauds) of the Sacred Triduum began to be anticipated the evenings before Thursday and Friday of Holy Week. In modern liturgical
practice, Tenebrae is sung only on Wednesday evening. During the Tenebrae Service, there will be an opportunity for Individual Reconciliation while the ceremony continues. The music of the Tenebrae will be led by Project Praise and will feature quiet and reflective music that is
suitable for the sacred atmosphere.
