This deeply moving event invites individuals from all walks of life to come together and reflect on the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ, leading up to the joyous celebration of Easter.
What is Tenebrae Service?
The Tenebrae Service, derived from the Latin word for "darkness," is a solemn and contemplative worship service that takes place during Holy Week. It is a unique opportunity for individuals to journey through the passion, suffering, and sacrifice of Jesus Christ.
With the dimming of the lights and the gradual extinguishing of candles, the Tenebrae Service creates a powerful atmosphere of introspection and reflection. As the readings progress, each candle symbolizing a crucial moment in Christ's journey is extinguished, culminating in darkness and representing Jesus' death on the cross.
A Transformative Experience
At St Mark’s United Methodist Church, we believe that experiencing the Tenebrae Service can be a truly transformative and spiritually enriching encounter. This unique worship event offers individuals an opportunity to engage with the profound depth of Christ's love, sacrifice, and resurrection.
During the Tenebrae Service, we contemplate the significance of each candle being extinguished, shedding light on the darkness that surrounded Jesus as He endured immense pain and suffering. Through scripture readings, reflections, and solemn music, we are encouraged to reflect on our own sins and the importance of redemption.
