Join us as we commemorate the crucifixion of Christ at our Tenebrae service. Tenebrae is Latin for darkness and is characterized by reading the Passion narrative, a gradual extinguishing of candles in steadily increasing darkness, and carrying out the Christ Candle in anticipation of the Resurrection on Easter morning.
