Tenebræ (Latin for darkness or shadows, pronounced ten-eh-bray) is the name of the church service held after nightfall during the last three days of Holy Week, during which the candles in the church are extinguished one by one "to signify the setting of the Sun of Justice" in the words of Benedict XIV. The service is treated as a sort of funeral service or dirge, commemorating the death of Jesus. Following the opening, the service is divided into three sections, called "Nocturnos".
