A Tenebrae service will return to the Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis after an absence of several decades.More.
The approximately hourlong devotional practice will begin about 9 p.m. Holy Thursday, March 24, at the cathedral basilica, Lindell Boulevard and Newstead Avenue in the Central West End. It follows the Mass of the Lord’s Supper that evening.
Tenebrae is Latin for "darkness" or "shadows." The ancient service of sung psalms and scriptural readings during Holy Week dates from medieval times. It focuses on Christ’s passion and death, ending with the "hope for His resurrection that we’ll celebrate on Easter," said Tenebrae coordinator Father Thomas G. Keller, co-director of the Office of Worship.
