[Magdalen] Easter Vigil.

[ME Michaud]

Yes, and I'd add this:
I go to the Vigil because I love it.
And I avoid the Easter Sunday Eucharist because of the mobs.
Glad they're there, but not wanting to be part of that any more.

Also, as I've said before, 4 am is not the safest time to be abroad in the
city.
And when the subway's not running, it's worse.
