Music of Lent helps prepare Christians for Easter, says Dominican friar, bluegrass musician

While not as well known as Christmas carols and Christmas music, music during the liturgical season of Lent plays a key role, a priest and musician told Fox News Digital. 'Music plays a threefold role for us during the Lenten season,' said Fr. Simon Teller, O.P. Teller is an associate chaplain at Providence College in Rhode Island. He is a Catholic priest, Dominican friar and fiddle player for the Americana/folk band, The Hillbilly Thomists.

Lent gradually decrescendos into the silence of Holy Saturday — the day when we remember that Christ descended into the grave.' The heart of Christianity, he said, 'is the mystery that Jesus, the eternal Word of the Father, fell into the silence of death out of love for us.' He added, 'Traditionally, churches all over the world fall silent from the celebration of Christ’s death on Good Friday until the Easter Vigil Mass on Saturday evening.
