I'm thinking specifically of The Great Awakening and the Azusa Street Revival (though there are many others). I'm not trying to put down the Catholic or Orthodox church in any way by asking this --- I'm just wondering if there are times of intense revival among these churches as there is at times in protestant churches.

Thanks!

By revival, I mean great outpourings of the Holy Spirit and all that entails. 'Spontaneous' confession of sin, healings, miracles, sign gifts, etc. :)

YES. During the '70's, the Catholic Charismatic Movement came into existence, and swept many into God's Kingdom. Myself included.

I am Orthodox, while we don't have displays of healings or put up tents and say we are having a revival like protestants do periods of revival do happen.
As you know our services are liturgical so they fit a set cycle the fasts are to teach us to put the things of the world away and the feasts are times of celebration each will effect us differently as individuals. Then you have the ministry of those people we canonize as saints
who through their lives are able to reach out to others with the Gospel in a very noticeable way.
So you will see the faith of individuals being revived and may be even communities. You may also see churches host a class or seminar on the faith or retreats (possibly at monasteries)
and pilgrimages to a holy site.
So you could argue these are in a way revivals even though we don't call them such and our services are set based on the calendar.
