Tenebrae begins by candlelight and ends in darkness. It is a stark contrast to the Easter Vigil, which begins in darkness and blazes into light as a symbol of Christ the risen light.
As a service that traditionally accompanies the last days of Holy Week, Tenebrae is a dark prelude to the light of Easter, a celebration of Christ's Passion in anticipation of his rising from the dead.

Book of Common Prayer Evensong is conducted on the Second and Fourth Sundays on the month. Face coverings mandatory if in church
