Best Answer

Most religious festivals take place on religious feast days. The day before a religious feast day is known as a "vigil" or watching. Vigils are days of fast and penance in order that the faithful may root out vice in themselves and gain the necessary disposition and virtues to celebrate the feast day in a virtuous spirit.
