Herndon RGB Vigil: Candlelight Ceremony To Honor Ginsburg's Life

HERNDON, VA — To honor the memory of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, 87, who died on Friday, a group of Herndon residents will be participating in a candlelight vigil Sunday night on the Town Green.

Members of the public are invited to join their Herndon neighbors from 8-9 p.m., for a socially distanced gathering, according to a post on Facebook. Participants are asked to wear all black clothing as a tribute to Ginsburg and to wear a mask, as a precaution due to the coronavirus pandemic. Participants may bring candles or flashlights, pictures, flowers, posters, signs, and blankets.

The informal ceremony will include a 114-second moment of silence to honor Ginsburg's 87 years of living her truth plus her 27-year tenure as a member of the U.S. Supreme Court.

Following the moment of silence, participants are invited to share their thoughts in view a brief statement, song, or prayer.
