Modesty in Worship Spaces
In line with their aversion to fancy clothing and jewelry, the Amish also steer clear of ornate and elaborate buildings, including dedicated church structures. You won’t come across stained glass windows or grand religious displays in Amish settlements.
This architectural simplicity aligns seamlessly with the principles of modesty and humility that are fundamental to Amish life. Arrogance and ostentatious displays, whether in clothing or architecture, are not part of the Amish way of life, emphasizing their commitment to a humble and unpretentious existence.
