Best Answer

Vigil means "a close watch" as in: I am keeping a vigil on my neighbor --- I think he murdered his wife.

Catholic AnswerIn the Catholic Church, a Vigil is the day or eve before a feast or solemnity. Prior to Vatican Council II there were many more Vigils, the Church has reduced the solemn vigils to Christmas, Easter, and Pentecost.
