DESCRIPTION:Tenebrae is a Latin word meaning “darkness\,” and is the po
 pular name for the special forms of the offices of Matins and Lauds appoin
 ted for the last three days in Holy Week. Because it is now a nearly unive
 rsal practice to hold the liturgies for Maundy Thursday and Good Friday in
  the evening\, it has become customary\, in some places\, to offer Tenebra
 e on an evening earlier in Holy Week. Perhaps the most striking feature of
  the service is the gradual extinguishing of the candles after the singing
  or reading of psalms and lessons until only one candle is left\, which is
  then concealed for a time until a loud noise is made (signifying the eart
 hquake at the time of the Resurrection). Following this\, the hidden candl
 e is restored to its place in anticipation of the Resurrection. The congre
 gation then departs in silence.
