Good Friday Tenebrae Service

Posted on April 16, 2017 Posted By: Chris Lewis Categories: Worship Folders
The Service of Tenebrae has a rich tradition in the church dating back to the eight century. Tenebrae is a word derived from Latin meaning "darkness." Through word and music, this service dramatizes the suffering, death, and burial of Jesus Christ. As the service moves from light into darkness, the diminishing light symbolizes the fading devotion of the apostles as well as the gradual dying of our Lord.
