Who Will Stand Vigil for You?

A part of the British monarch’s funeral rites involves friends, knights, aides, and family members stepping up to the corners and sides of the coffin to stand vigil. This tradition comes from an ancient practice of warriors honoring their deceased commanders or kings by surrounding them with protection. Ponder your life through this question: who will stand vigil for you? Are you living a life of honor? Are you connected to a band of brothers who would stand for you?
