The Holy Week tradition of Tenebrae - or the Service of Shadows - originated in the early centuries of Christianity, combining the monastic services of both matins (after midnight) and lauds (at dawn). While in the past this mid–Holy Week service has been presented by adults of St. Michael's Episcopal Church and area musicians, this year all the Tenebrae texts will be read by St. Michael's teenagers: Julia Fedoruk, Tori MacKay, Tian Ragle, Zadie Olmstead, Julian Segal, and Asa Taggert.
