I'm doing some reading on topic modeling (with Latent Dirichlet Allocation) which makes use of Gibbs sampling. As a newbie in statistics―well, I know things like binomials, multinomials, priors, etc.―,I find it difficult to grasp how Gibbs sampling works. Can someone please explain it in simple English and/or using simple examples? (If you are not familiar with topic modeling, any examples will do.) Thank you all in advance.

Can someone explain Gibbs sampling in very simple words?
