Description
Amish women and children play baseball. The Amish are members of conservative Christian communities who traditionally isolate themselves from non-Amish societies. They live modestly and often refrain from indulgence in activities associated with urban lifestyles or some modern technologies. Family, God and hard work are sacred to Amish people. Jakob Ammann is credited as the founder of the Amish community in Switzerland in the late 1690s. Amish people are believed to have roots in Europe; specifically, they are mostly from Switzerland and Germany. Ohio, Indiana and Lancaster County (Pa.) are identified as the largest Amish communities in the United States.

Viven modestamente y a menudo se abstienen de la indulgencia en actividades asociadas con estilos de vida urbanos o algunas tecnologías modernas. La familia, Dios y el trabajo duro son sagrados para los amish. Jakob Ammann es acreditado como el fundador de la comunidad amish en Suiza a finales de la década de 1690. Se cree que los amish tienen raíces en Europa; específicamente, son en su mayoría de Suiza y Alemania. Ohio, Indiana y el condado de Lancaster, Pensilvania se identifican como las comunidades amish más grandes de Estados Unidos.
