Join us for a solemn and reflective Tenebrae Service this Easter season, a moving time of worship that invites us to walk through the final hours of Christ’s passion.
“Tenebrae,” meaning darkness or shadows, is an ancient Christian tradition that remembers the suffering and death of Jesus through Scripture readings, prayer, poetry, music, and the gradual extinguishing of candles. As the light fades, we reflect on the weight of the cross, the sorrow of Good Friday, and the depth of Christ’s sacrifice.
Throughout the service, passages from the Gospels will recount the events leading to the crucifixion. With each reading, a candle is extinguished, symbolizing the growing darkness in the world as Christ approaches the cross. The service concludes in silence, leaving us in quiet reflection as we await the hope and joy of Easter morning.
This meaningful and contemplative service prepares our hearts for the resurrection by allowing us to pause, remember, and enter into the story of redemption.
All are welcome to attend this powerful evening of Scripture, music, and reflection as we journey together from darkness toward the light of Easter.
