Roman Propers: Feria Sexta in Coena Domini (Holy Saturday): ad Matutinum et Laudes (Tenebrae)
Tenebrae of Holy Saturday.
The altar must be bare, except for the Cross and four (lighted) candles that remained after the Good Friday Liturgy. In Choir fifteen (seven on each side and one at the top) candles are in a triangle-shaped candlestick before the Epistle corner. As each Antiphon is repeated the second time, one of the fifteen candles is put out.
The Antiphons are all doubled, and the Doxology Gloria Patri is everywhere omitted.

While the Canticle Benedictus is being sung, (all the candles in the hearse having been extinguished, except the one placed on the highest point of the hearse,) there are extinguished the six candles on the Altar, so that, at the last verse, the last candle is extinguished; in like manner the lamps and lights throughout the church are extinguished. |
|
After the repetition of the Ant. Mulíeres sedéntes the highest candle is taken from the hearse and is concealed beneath the Altar on the Epistle side. KNEEL |
|
Thereafter, Ps. 50, Miserere, is said in a barely audible tone. Note: Miserere suppressed in 1955-62 editions. |
|
After this Psalm is finished, without Oremus there is said in a similar tone the Collect. |
|
When the Collect is finished, there is made a certain amount of noise and clatter; (note: clatter and noise are suppressed in the 1962 + editions) and at once the lighted candle is brought forth from beneath the Altar, and all arise, and depart in silence. |
