Tenebrae - A Tradition at St. Mary’s Cathedral

Tenebrae - A Tradition at St. Mary’s Cathedral

Everyone is welcome at St. Mary’s Cathedral in St. Cloud on Good Friday evening, March 29, at 8:00 pm for Tenebrae, which is Latin for shadows or darkness.  At this event, participants will experience the gradual extinction of all lights in the church, symbolizing the temporary triumph of the prince of darkness over the Light of the World, and loud noises created at the end of the service by the assembly and ministers, suggesting the earthquake described in the Passion Narratives.
