The word Tenebrae is Latin for “darkness” or “shadows.” For centuries it has been applied to the ancient monastic services held in the night and early morning (Matins and Lauds) of the last three days of Holy Week, which in medieval times were celebrated on the preceding evenings as vigils. The liturgy includes readings from the Lamentations, Isaiah and St. John’s Passion Gospel, as well as prayers, hymns and anthems.
The service starts at 7 pm. There will not be childcare.
