All of these suggestions are new ideas on how I should design my Vigil Area, yet I will admit I have it planned to be held at my church. But with these Ideas, I think a Vigil at Home will suffice.
The heart, mind, & soul is the home & sanctuary of faith. Your vigil is from within & your physical being at any location carries with it, the means to holy virtue & sanctity. No matter where you hold faith-based ceremony, the practice of virtue is a reflection of your inner-being displayed outwards onto others. Through this display, your chivalry & good-will shines.
