Join us for a Tenebrae Prayer Service on Good Friday at St. Sebastian. Tenebrae, which means “shadows”, is an ancient service in which scripture and psalms are shared. After each lesson, a candle is extinguished until the assembly is in total darkness. A loud, sustained noise or commotion is created, called the strepitus, representing the convulsion of nature following the death of Christ; the chaos of the world without a savior. Suddenly, the Christ light is reignited, the strepitus ends, and all depart in silence. This service is a powerful experience. All are welcome.
