“English” Outsiders
Your race, skin tone, or country of origin are unimportant to the Amish. Someone 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 known 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 know, 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 reasoning behind it? In Amish tradition, when a loved one passes away, the only thing left to remember them is their memories. Having a graven image, such as a portrait or a painting of someone, is prohibited.
