Revival Part 2
January 8, 2025
When we are revived, it means that, in some sense, we have been dead or dying. After we are revived, we live again. In the cycle of life, which includes all living things, there is some form of birth, death, and rebirth. This motif is exemplified by the traditional egg and dart design in many classical moldings and plasterwork. It’s also depicted in the architecture of private residences and public and religious buildings. The egg means life, the dart symbolizes death, and the continuance of that pattern means that life is constantly being reborn.
Revival Part 1

The Latin root word of revival is “vivo“ or “vivere“ which both mean “to live.” Add the prefix “re” which means “again,” and we have the word “revival,“ which means to live again. Sometimes we associate the word revive with someone who’s had a cardiac arrest and is brought back to life through cardiopulmonary resuscitation or an electrical shock called defibrillation.
