7.30pm TENEBRAE

‘Tenebrae’ is Latin for shadows. The aim of the Tenebrae service is to reflect
on the emotional aspects of the passion story. It is a music-rich service. It begins with the church in
candlelight, with as many candles as there are readings, and ends with the
service in darkness. The service ends without a benediction and the people
leave in silence.
