  • Thank you for this!  God bless!

  • @ozarkcrafter Hi, I am glad you enjoyed it!

  • Good video, Lacha. I liked how you pointed out that there's a freedom in dressing plain. I find the same thing. You don't have the constant pressure to conform. People treat you differently.

    Out of curiosity, do you know what type of churches are in the pictures at 0:27 and 1:42?

  • @SeekYeFirst1 Hi, the first is probably people from the Charity Church, the second is of an Amish family.

  • Hello! I'm hoping to visit a bruderhof community soon in England, would you know of anything of etiquette for instance that I should watch out for or anything I need to be aware of

  • I am trying to find patterns for the simple veil and pleated bonnet as well as large size dress patterns, do you know where I can get them?

  • @SkinnyWmn69 I can comment a bit on Quaker Plain Dress here too. Yes, Quakers would've dressed in the general style of the day--when sewing a new dress--but would've removed any unnecessary frills or lace, as not being plain enough. Then, keep the dress til it's worn out thoroughly, and before you know it, you're a decade out of fashion. Eventually, taking a step out of the world's fashions became the way of things, to set apart, and intentionally retaining old styles came in.

  • @MadameSheep It means "re-baptise" and started out as a sort of slur because Anabaptists don't believe infant baptism to be valid (because it's not a conscious choice by the person baptised while they know right from wrong) and so would baptise adults who, when they first started this a few hundred years ago, would've already been baptised Catholic as babies. They saw it as first valid baptism. Outsiders saw it as rebaptising.

  • Excuse my ignorance, but I've never heard the term anabaptist before. What does it mean?

  • @LachaFliuch Very interesting. I'd never heard of Amish that wear veils.

  • It's a very a beautiful song. Who is singing it?
