[Grand Illumination](http://www.mvcma.org/grand.htm) is pretty hard to explain in words, and it’s not any easier to explain with pictures. It’s really something you have to experience for yourself to fully understand. It’s sort of like Christmas without the presents… but even that doesn’t do it justice. In any case, Catherine and I both enjoyed our very first Grand Illumination, as well as several more days on MV.
