Before there was the bright glow of Easter, there was darkening…a time when events and situations worked deviously to a glorious end; a time when Jesus’ disciples were confounded and confused, when the darkness seemed to win. And yet, during those days…even then…God the Father worked his will.
The church has observed this service of Tenebrae (Latin meaning the darkening) in some form since the 12th century. This quiet service of word, song, and candlelight acknowledges, once again, the love that Jesus has for us and what he would subject himself to for our benefit.
