A brush arbor revival is a religious gathering that happens outside. It usually takes place in a wooded area, and people build a little shelter using branches, sticks, and other natural materials. This shelter is called a “brush arbor”.
People come to the brush arbor revival to sing songs, pray, and listen to someone talk about the Bible. A lot of times, people will have a big meal together too. It’s all about coming together as a community and feeling close to God.
The idea of a brush arbor revival comes from a long time ago when people didn’t have fancy churches to go to. They made do with what they had, and often would have outdoor religious gatherings like this.
So, it’s kind of like having church outside, in a little shelter you made with your friends, and everyone is happy and feels closer to God!
