Revival (religious)

Revival is when religious people try to get closer to their God or gods. They want to have a stronger connection with their religion and often hold special events, like big church gatherings or prayer groups that go on for days, to help them achieve this. People who go to revivals might do things like sing, dance, pray or listen to stories to help them become closer to their religion. It's like giving their faith a big boost, almost like filling up a gas tank, so they feel more connected and energized in their beliefs. Revivals can happen in any religion, not just Christianity, and they usually start with a leader who has a lot of energy and enthusiasm that they share with others. It's a way for people to come together and celebrate their faith, and can be a really powerful and transformative experience.
