The Tenebrae service begins with a series of candles, includes scripture, readings, prayer, meditation and music. After each reading, the candles are extinguished, symbolizing the fading loyalty of the disciples and friends of Jesus. The gradual darkening of the church portrays the diminishing light of the world as Christ was departing from it.The service ends with no benediction and people leave in silence.
