talk page for Grand Illumination
Did You Know
Anyone have any idea if this is related to the custom of placing the Hanukkah menorah so it is visible to the public (see Hanukkah rituals)? Since many Jewish holiday customs are adaptations of older pagan holiday customs, I would not be surprised if Grand Illumination has roots in very ancient times.

This seems totally out of place and completely irrelevant to the article. Unless what Chevy Chase's character was attempting was specifically referred to as a Grand Illumination in the film, this should be deleted. Tons of people string tons of lights on their houses, in their yards, etc.; those aren't Grand Illuminations as far as I'm concerned; a ceremony has to take place as well. Also, given the reference to the Grand Illumination on Martha's Vineyard being "one of the most significant events each summer", I've changed the lead sentence to include Grand Illuminations that have nothing to do with Christmas lights.— Chidom talk 21:40, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
