Tenebrae
2026-04-01 17:30 - 18:30 | Saint Paul Episcopal Church, 340 Locust Street, Columbia, PA, 17512, United States
This service will be held in the Chapel of Holy Communion – accessible through memorial garden.
The name Tenebrae comes from the Latin word for “darkness” or “shadows.” A distinguishing characteristic of this service is the series of readings from Lamentations which appear early in the office. The distinctive ceremonial of Tenebrae includes use of fifteen lighted candles, often set on a special, triangular stand. One candle is extinguished as each of the fourteen appointed psalms is completed. The fifteenth candle, symbolic of Christ, is left lighted at the end of the final psalm. But it is carried away to be hidden, which signifies the apparent victory of the forces of evil. A sudden loud noise is made at the end of the service, symbolizing the earthquake at Christ’s death. The lighted candle is then restored to its place, suggesting Christ’s eventual triumph.
