On Wednesday of Holy Week, we gather for the traditional office of
Tenebrae, from the Latin for "shadows." One by one, the candles of the
Tenebrae candelabra are extinguished until only one candle remains
burning.

The Evening Mass of the Lord's Supper on Holy Thursday commemorates the
institution of the Eucharist. The Mass concludes with Adoration of the
Blessed Sacrament, continuing until Midnight.
