Your race, skin tone, or country of origin are unimportant to the Amish. Somebody who isn’t Amish is referred to as an English person. It is primarily due to long-standing immigration patterns. It makes sense when you consider that the Amish are not recognized for changing their traditions.

Memories

Amish people do not have Instagram accounts, as one might expect. They don’t use cameras, so it’s probably obvious. Did you notice, however, that they don’t make paintings either? It’s a little perplexing because a brush and canvas aren’t exactly cutting-edge technology, so what’s the explanation behind it? In Amish tradition, when a loved one passes away, the only thing left to remember them is their memories. Having a graven picture, such as a portrait or a painting of someone, is prohibited.
