ABOUT AMISH
The following are excerpts from...
The Amish and "The Plain People"
www.800padutch.com/amish.shtml
...all follow a literal interpretation of the Bible and an unwritten set of rules called the Ordnung.
The Old Order groups all drive horses and buggies rather than cars, do not have electricity in their homes, and send their children to private, one-room schoolhouses. Children attend only through the eighth grade. After that, they work on their family's farm or business until they marry.
Old Order Amish women and girls wear modest dresses... never cut their hair, which they wear in a bun on the back of the head. On their heads they wear a white prayer covering if they are married and a black one if they are single.
Men and boys wear dark-colored suits... do not have mustaches, but they grow beards after they marry.
The Amish feel these distinctive clothes encourage humility and separation from the world. Their clothing is not a costume; it is an expression of their faith.
