4. Communion Happens in the Spring or Fall
Much of Amish life, especially religious traditions, are informal but heavily ingrained within the community. One of these practices is the ritual of communion. Many Christians usually have it at a designated time, but Amish elders determine when their churches will hold communion. During the ceremony, men and women are separate from each other. One unique element to Amish communion is the foot washing ritual Jesus practiced, which Jakob Ammann was adamant about including in his vision of Anabaptism.
