Latin for “darkness,” Tenebrae is a solemn and contemplative liturgy consisting of sung psalms, readings, and chants anticipating the betrayal and Passion of Christ.

Tenebrae will be prayed in the evening on Spy Wednesday, Holy Thursday, and Good Friday in Ann Arbor-area parishes. At St. Thomas, the service will conclude around 9:30 p.m. with Miserere Mei and an unforgettable strepitus “earthquake.”

This one-of-kind liturgy is the perfect way to enter into the spirit of the Triduum. English-Latin translations will be provided for this Extraordinary Form liturgy.
