Tenebrae
During the Tenebrae service, we reflect on Jesus’s journey to the cross. The lights in the church are extinguished until only one candle remains, a symbol of Jesus. This candle is then hidden, suggesting the apparent victory of death. A loud noise will fill the church, symbolizing the earthquake at the time of the resurrection. The hidden candle is restored to its place and by its light all depart in silence.
The Office of Tenebrae, including a selection of readings and chanted responses, and featuring choral anthems sung by Trinity Choir.
