Palm Sunday April 9,2017 Liturgy of the Palms 9:00 a.m. ST. JAMES MIDWAY COMMUNITY PARK EASTER EGG HUNT SATURDAY, APRIL 8, 1:00PM A SERVICE OF TENEBRAE ST. JAMES, 6:00pm April 12 The name Tenebrae (the Latin word for “darkness” or “shadows”) has for centuries been applied to the ancient monastic night and early morning services (Matins & Lauds) of the last three days of Holy Week, which in medieval times came to be celebrated on the preceding evenings. The most conspicuous feature of the service is the gradual extinguishing of candles and other lights in the church until only a single candle, considered a symbol of our Lord, remains. Toward the end of the service this candle is hidden, typifying the apparent victory of the forces of evil. At the very end, a loud noise is made, symbolizing the earthquake at the time of the resurrection (Matthew 28:2), the hidden candle is restored to its place and by its light all depart in silence. The Tenebrae liturgy does not end but leads us into the Triduum, which is a continual liturgy that culminates with a glorious celebration of the Easter Vigil. This service provides an extended meditation upon, and a prelude to, the events in our Lord’s life between the Last Supper and the Resurrection.*The Book of Occasional Services · 2003 Tutoring at St.James available on Wednesday afternoons from 3:30-5:00. Sessions are each Wednesday sponsored by the CAC and space provided by St. James |
