St Lawrence
Lawrence Street York, YO10 3WP, United Kingdom

The name ‘Tenebrae’ is the Latin word for darkness or shadows and has for centuries been used at the night office during Holy Week.

This service is marked by a reading from the Book of Lamentations and the gradual extinguishing of candles until a single candle, considered a symbol of the Lord, remains.

Choral Tenebrae - Monday 30th March 8pm
Said Tenebrae - Tuesday 31st March 8pm

Welcome to the churchnearyou page of York's biggest parish church, serving a large and varied parish and the wider community. 

You are invited to join us for our Sunday services. Each week, we offer a Mass at 10:15am and Choral Evensong at 6:30pm. For those wanting to come to an earlier, quieter service, we offer a service of Morning Prayer at 8:30am.
