Good Friday Tenebrae Service
Approaching the Cross
while we still were sinners Christ died for us.
Walk with Jesus from his time of prayer and betrayal in the Garden of Gethsemane, through his trials, suffering, death on the cross, and burial in the tomb, using the words of the Gospel of John.
You are invited to listen to the words of Scripture, not just with your ears and mind, but especially with your heart and imagination as we walk alongside Jesus.
The word Tenebrae means darkening or shadows. In a Tenebrae service, as the scripture approaches Jesus' death, candles are extinguished and the darkness grows. People traditionally celebrate this type of service on the Thursday or Friday preceding Easter.
We encourage participants to designate four lights (or sets of lights) to extinguish at times designated on the screen -- moving your room into deeper darkness. Ideally when you extinguish the fourth light, your room will be mostly dark apart from the dim light of the screen for the final readings and musical piece.
