Tenebrae,
translating to “darkness” or “shadows”, is a form of prayer that is
connected to the Divine Office daily prayers that are said throughout
Triduum. Tenebrae services were originally held at midnight,as it was
the darkest part of the day, though are now prayed either in the morning
or evening when the sun is not in the sky. We will be praying the Good
Friday Tenebrae together. As we pray and sing, candles will be
extinguished leaving us in more and more darkness, ending in the strepitus or “great noise”, when we will bang on books and pews to symbolize the
earthquake that took place at the time of Christ’s death. We will then
depart from our time together, as much as possible maintaining silence
and staying in a mindset of prayer.
