The Amish don’t mind people taking pictures of them, but they aren’t allowed to take pictures of themselves. They are also not allowed to keep them in their homes. The dolls and clothing follow the same logic: to keep them humble and resist vanity.

A Frolic
Barn-raising is referred to among the Amish as a frolic. They make a big deal out of it when a new barn is needed. The event is expected to draw hundreds of people. Manual labor is delegated to the men, while meal preparation is delegated to the women. It’s a popular pastime.
