Tenebrae Service
On Good Friday
@Holy Trinity, after the Noon Stations
Experience the sacred tradition of Tenebrae, where fifteen candles gradually extinguish as we journey through readings from Psalms or the Gospels, enveloping us in symbolic darkness. Through this solemn reflection, we contemplate Christ’s ultimate sacrifice and the darkness He endured on the cross. Yet, as we meditate on the fading light, we find hope in the promise of Easter, where the triumphant return of the “Light of the World” dispels the shadows of despair. Let us embrace the mystery of Tenebrae, knowing that even in our darkest moments, the light of Christ’s love shines brightly, guiding us towards salvation. You are welcome to join us for the entire afternoon, after Stations or before the Liturgy of the Lord’s Passion. The schedule is as follows:
12:00 pm: Stations
12:30 pm: Scriptural Rosary
1:00 pm: Tenebrae
2:00 pm: Liturgy of the Lord’s Passion
