| As we neared that last portage, from Quetico Lake back into Beaverhouse, two eagles stood silent vigil in a dead tree along our way. |
| The body is left in the church overnight and the traditional wake held after the vigil in the church hall or an adjoining room. |
| A few Sundays ago a large white van from Tennessee with a flag and peace sign painted on it circled the vigil and then parked. |
| A total of 10 counters functioned to issue tickets and a strict vigil was maintained to stop the visitors from carrying polythene bags. |
| So prepare for an all-night vigil as there will also be a post-Palace party down at the Warehouse that will run you until dawn. |
| During the vigil a representative of the Beth Din invited participants inside to meet the dayanim. |
