SHAKERS

Meaning of SHAKERS in English

the popular name for the United Society of Believers in Christ’s Second Appearing, a Christian religious group that separated from the Quakers in England and moved to the US in 1774. They were called Shakers because they shook with emotion when they worshipped. Strict Shakers believe people should not have sex, so few children are born, and now only a few live in New Hampshire and Maine . Shakers are well known for the simple, elegant furniture they made.
