showering down

Raining from above

Showering down describes things falling abundantly from above, like water from a showerhead.

Rain showers down, sparks shower down from fireworks, confetti showers down on a parade.

The phrase emphasizes both the downward direction and the scattered, plentiful nature of what's falling: Debris showered down after the explosion.

Blessings or praise can shower down figuratively.
