The name ‘Tenebrae’ is the Latin word for ‘darkness’ or ‘shadows’. One of the most conspicuous features of Tenebrae is the gradual extinguishing of candles until only a single candle remains; this is the Christ Candle – a symbol of Our Lord. Near the end of Tenebrae the Christ Candle is hidden, signifying the apparent victory of the forces of evil over good. Before the final Lesson, the hidden Christ Candle is restored to its place, symbolising the triumph of good over evil. By this single light we all depart this service in silence.
