Tenebrae Service.

This “Service of Shadows” is a powerful segue to the Triduum. The service comprises of seven nocturns, each of psalms, meditations and prayers, recalling the shadows which rapidly fell leading to Jesus’ death and burial. After each set, a candle on the altar is extinguished, and some of the church lights are put out, eventually ending in total darkness, thunder, and the sounds of the closing of the sarcophagus. The people are asked to leave in silence. The service is free. Instead, a free-will offering will be taken.
