The name Tenebrae is the Latin word for “darkness” or “shadows” and refers to the ancient monastic night and early morning services of Matins and Lauds of the last three days of Holy Week, which in medieval times came to be celebrated on the preceding evenings. The service focuses on the chanting of psalms and readings from the book of Lamentations, as well as the extinguishing of candles until the church is in darkness. Music by Sophia Singers.

Nothing is more human than our sexuality. The world can send many signals about the body, sex and sexuality that can be confusing or toxic. In this conversation with Dean Steve Thomason, we’ll discuss a theology of sexuality and how it can deeply resonate with the divine mystery and the gift of desire that flows from it. We’ll consider how an understanding of sexuality does not have to be distorted and can be life-giving as we lean into our inherent

The liturgy of Tenebrae is, for many, a highlight of the liturgical year at Saint Mark’s, with its plainchant psalms and laments and a cappella meditations. The liturgy for Wednesday of Holy Week as we have it today was created by combining elements of three prayer offices, originally appointed for Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, containing unique elements that have inspired composers through the centuries. These elements include the chanting of portions of the Book of Lamentations, with its distinctive Hebrew
Tenebrae is a Latin word meaning “shadows.” The Tenebrae service is a selection of psalms and lessons. The distinctive feature of Tenebrae is the gradual extinction of the candles in the church with the exception of one candle. The people leave in silence. This service will be in person and live streamed.
Latin for "Darkness," Tenebrae is an ancient service of prayer in which candles are gradually extinguished. The church grows increasingly dim as the congregation meditates on the final hours of Christ's life during Holy Week. The Epiphany Choir chants psalms and sings anthems that help to guide the congregation through the gradual fading of light in this powerful service on Wednesday of Holy Week.
The Vigil at the Altar of Repose will happen this year, starting upon the conclusion of the Maundy Thursday liturgy (around 8:45 p.m.) until the following sunrise.

As in recent years, this vigil will be an online offering, with a live video available all night. In addition, this year there is also a possibility of
The watch will be in person and open on Zoom throughout the night for meditation and visitation.

On this night we remember the Last Supper and Jesus’ final teachings to his friends.

This Gospel is followed by a Liturgy of Foot Washing, an enactment of Jesus’ gesture of humble service to his followers. At Saint

Tenebrae focuses on the chanting of psalms and readings from the book of Lamentations, as well as the extinguishing of candles, until all is in darkness. Music by the Sophia Singers.
A poignant service, anticipating the final days of Jesus before the Crucifixion, the Tenebrae service intersperses Psalms and chant with the extinguishing of candles. Each candle marks how Jesus is abandoned by his friends and disciples. And in the end, utter darkness falls asking us whether even God will abandon Christ and leave humanity to its own fate. In answer, the service ends with a crack/boom, pointing us towards the upcoming Resurrection.
We will be celebrating Jesus washing the disciples by washing each other's feet, as well as celebrating the first Communion. We will then strip the altar in stark realization that Jesus is about to be betrayed and sent to death.

We will begin with washing each other’s hands (a nod to Jesus’ act of service of washing the disciples’ feet, but
Holy Eucharist, Foot Washing, and Stripping of the Altar
