Taking The Photographs
While Amish people do not have any issue with people taking photographs of them, they are prohibited from capturing themselves. The holy text Ordnung also restricts them in keeping the pictures at their home. Keeping the portraits in the house is strictly forbidden in Amish culture. The case is also the same with some other communities around the world. The reason that is said to be behind such restrictions is that people should not develop egoism and avoid vanity altogether.

A Fun Activity
In the Amish community, raising the bee or you might know it by the name barn-raising is the fun activity. The neighbors and friends gather around to help the person who is raising a barn and it is a very celebratory act for them. A date is decided and the community expects that the event will be attended by no less than hundreds of people. It’s considered a very pleasant fun time as the men are given the charge of managing and indulging in physical labor while the women are solely in charge of food and meals that will be served throughout the day.
