Memorial candles burn Thursday, Dec. 21 – the longest night of the year – in Portland’s Monument Square, where about 150 people attended a vigil for homeless people who died during the year. The annual event was sponsored by the city’s Health and Human Services Department, Greater Portland Health, Maine Medical Center, Mercy Hospital, and Preble Street.
