Hello, I am going to the Hyde Park Vigil on Saturday 18th of September but as I have never been to any papal or other significant religious events before I simply don't know protocol. I'd ask my father but he is on holiday so not available. I've lots my mother and grandmother so wish to make the event an occation to think about them and pray for their souls but not sure if I should bring a picture of them or take other artefacts. My question has two parts really, what religious aspects of the service should I expect and prepare for - what to take with me of artefacts and protocol to expect would be great to hear tips on. Also practically I wouldn't mind hearing from others who have been to a similar event, what did you pack (blanket, jacket, food??).
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Perhaps I'll even meet you there?
