DESCRIPTION:Tenebrae (“shadows” or “darkness”) is a Holy Week serv
 ice that is at least 1\,000 years old and a local tradition at St John's C
 hurch Clay Hill\nOriginally held after midnight \, Tenebrae would be sung 
 each day of the Triduum in a church lit only by 15 candles.\nThese were ex
 tinguished one by one until the church was left in darkness.\nAt that poin
 t\, a loud noise (“strepitus”) would be produced – sometimes by slam
 ming a hymnal or other book shut\, sometimes by stomping on the floor – 
 symbolizing the earthquake after Christ’s death.\n\nLike the “lessons 
 and carols” services familiar at Christmas\, Tenebrae consists of hymns 
 and readings\, and you are very welcome to join us at this and all of our 
 services over Holy Week at St John's and St Luke's Clay Hill.  Details of 
 al our services can be found on our website (clayhillparish.org.uk)
