Photographs Taken
The Amish don’t mind if others photograph them, but they aren’t allowed to photograph themselves. They are also prohibited from keeping them in their residences. The dolls and clothing are designed in the same way: to keep them humble and resist vanity.
A Frolic
Barn-raising is referred to as a frolic among the Amish. When a new barn is required, they make a big deal out of it. Hundreds of people are expected to attend. Men are assigned manual labor, while women are assigned meal preparation. It is a popular leisure activity.
