Beards

Although an older Amish man with a long beard is not surprising, mustaches are not. Mustaches are annoyed upon, but beards are permitted because men in the Bible wore beards frequently. As a result, facing an Amish man with a beard isn’t unusual.

Believer’s Baptism

A traditional Amish procedure is “believer’s baptism,” which is essentially a baptism for those who have reached adulthood. Because faith is thought to emerge only when a person reaches the age of accountability, a believer’s baptism might be linked to adult baptism. When a child is old enough to earnestly admit their faith, they are frequently baptized as believers. This belief arose from the Christian movement of Anabaptism.
