Can Protestants attend? We tend to gloss over the literature of the Old Testament, admittedly. Sounds like a wonderful service.

of course Protestants can attend. As the article says, more congregations are picking this up. It sounds so inspiring.

I especially liked the one candle being brought back into the sanctuary, representing the coming of Jesus Christ, the true Light!

Episcopal/Anglican churches also have this service on the Wednesday of Holy Week. It's very moving and very beautiful.

I see the Episcopal Diocese in Albany NY is offering a Tenebrae Service. Perhaps others are doing the same.
