Tenebrae is the Latin word for "shadows" or "darkness". The service of Tenebrae to be held on Good Friday (18th April) at St. Michael’s Church makes use of light and dark and music to reflect on Jesus' journey to the cross up to the point of his crucifixion. A series of readings from the Gospel are interspersed with reflective music. We will mostly be using Taizé music. There are 10 candles which are lit at the start of the service and one is extinguished after each reading. The service begins at 8pm, which will be dusk. The service will last about an hour so that by the end of the service, as the sunsets and the candles are extinguished, we leave in darkness.
A service to welcome in and begin the Easter celebrations. The service begins in a darkened church as we listen to a series of readings tracing God’s plan of salvation, interspersed with canticles and psalms sung by the choir, and short prayers. We then go into the churchyard where a fire is kindled, from which the Paschal (Easter) Candle is lit and processed into church. Marking the night during which Jesus passed from death to life, we sing the exsultet and then the church is suddenly lit up for the Gloria. With gold vestments and hangings, we celebrate the resurrection, concluding with a renewal of our baptismal vows and the Peace.
