Does anyone know where I can find a Tenebrae Hearse or plans for build one? This will be our first year trying to add a Tenebrae service to our family traditions. Any pointers on this service would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

This is something I have never heard of. Can you tell us what it is?

Peace,

I had not heard of that term either, but assumed it must be the candle holder used in the service. Looking around I found that was the case - Tenebrea Hearse (Catholic Encyclopedia).

For our home tenebrae we just use the votive candle set (often pictured here and started by Ruth), placed in a long line on the table. Then we extinguish those as we go through the stations. We have never done a real home tenebrea with the Office readings - as there is one here local every year at the seminary and we attend that one.

I have thought about making the triangular holder. Several years ago at a display of Mexican santos I saw a beautiful wooden one done in the style of the santos. Then shortly after that at a garage sale found a triangular candle holder which was supposed to be a christmas tree - but to me looked perfect for the one for tenebrae if it could be adapted. It only has spaces for 7 candles so would need to be doubled and I haven't worked on it enough to figure out how to do it. Now you've got me thinking again.

Here is a picture:


It's more decorative - I've seen even more elaborate ones. I've also seen ones that were really plain - just the straight triangle with the candle bases attached or drilled in (for a wooden one).

My husband posted an at home version of the service on his companies file sharing site. You can use the link to take a look.   We got booklet from friends at church last year and have been looking forward to trying it.
I just haven't been successful in finding a hearse. We'll probably end up having to fabricate something.

ETA: The Tenebrae service I am referring to is Martins and Lauds from the Divine Office of Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday.
