The Amish are unconcerned with your race, skin tone, or country of origin. They refer to someone who isn’t Amish as an English person. It is mainly due to centuries-old immigration trends. When you consider that the Amish are not known for modifying their traditions, it makes sense.

As one would expect, there are no Instagram accounts for Amish people. It’s probably obvious since they don’t use cameras. However, did you know they don’t create paintings either? It’s somewhat confusing since a brush and canvas aren’t by any means modern technology, so what’s the reasoning behind it? Well, in Amish tradition, when a loved one dies, they don’t have any images to remember them by except for their memories. Having a picture or a painting of someone is considered a graven image, which isn’t allowed.
