Tonight at Saint Clement: Tenebrae
Tonight we will celebrate Tenebrae at
7:30 p.m. Tenebrae is the Latin word for shadows or darkness. This liturgy is filled with the singing of Psalms and the proclamation of Scripture. The liturgy helps to set the tone for the coming three days of the Triduum. Seven candles are lit in the church. The candles are gradually extinguished throughout the liturgy until the church is plunged into darkness and a thunderous noise envelops the space. One candle finally returns to the church thereby bringing peace and illumination, symbolizing the continual light of Christ.
Please join us tonight in the church for the celebration of Tenebrae at 7:30 p.m.
