Community Vigil

A Community Vigil is a gathering of individuals in a public or communal space, primarily organized to honor, remember, or support a cause, person, or event, often in response to a tragedy or significant social issue. Participants may light candles, share stories, pray, or engage in other forms of tribute, reflecting a collective expression of solidarity, grief, or hope. Such events aim to foster a sense of community, promote healing, and raise awareness about specific issues, encouraging unity among those affected or advocating for change. Community vigils can serve as a platform for dialogue and may mobilize support for various causes, reinforcing the importance of communal resilience and empathy.
