DESCRIPTION:The principal Tenebrae ceremony is the gradual extinguishing o
 f candles upon a stand in the sanctuary called a hearse containing fifteen
  candles\, which are extinguished after each of the psalms of matins and l
 auds. The six altar candles are put out during the Benedictus\, gradually 
 reducing also the lighting in the church throughout the chanting of the ca
 nticle. Then any remaining lights in the church are extinguished and the l
 ast candle on the hearse is hidden behind the altar ending the service in 
 total darkness. The strepitus ("great noise") symbolizes the earthquake th
 at followed Christ's death\, although it may have originated as a simple s
 ignal to depart. After the candle has been shown to the people\, it is ext
 inguished\, and then put "on the credence table". All rise and then leave 
 in silence.
