Tenebrae - moving from light to darkness at the start of Holy Week
Advertisement
Enter into the mystery of Holy Week as we move from light into darkness. Tenebrae was the medieval Office of Matins sung on the Thursday, Friday and Saturday of Holy Week.
Tenebrae is the Latin word for darkness. In this special adaptation, as we listen to the story of the last hours of Jesus’ life, candles are extinguished to symbolize the enveloping darkness.
The singing of plainsong and moments of silence mark the solemnity of the occasion and in response we find our voice in song and prayer.
