Join us for Holy Week on The Contemplative Cathedral as we journey from Maundy Thursday to Easter Sunday. This year, we have dedicated a Space in The Contemplative Cathedral to host all of Holy Week. A place to find events, join via Zoom, and share with each other over the week. 

The word “Tenebrae” comes from the Latin meaning “darkness.” The Tenebrae is an ancient Christian service that makes use of gradually diminishing light through the extinguishing of candles to symbolize the events of the last two days of Jesus life.
