Please join us for the Good Friday Tenebrae Service (4/3 at 4 PM).
Darkness descended on the world that day as God draped Creation in the darkness of mourning. For the Light of the world was flickering out; the great Prince of the heavenly kingdom was dying. Though guiltless, He was tortured and cursed; though innocent, He died among criminals. Who could ever call this day “good?” Only those who know the Truth of the cross: “Sing my tongue the glorious battle; sing the ending of the fray. Now above the cross, the trophy, sound the loud triumphant lay. Tell how Christ, the world’s Redeemer, as a victim won the day.” – Venantius Fortunatus (†609 AD), CW93 122:1.
