Amish Symbol




What is the Amish symbol? As you drive on the country roads where the Amish travel, there is one sign that you see all the time. It is the diamond-shaped yellow caution sign with a picture of a horse and carriage, with words like "Watch for", "Stay Alert", "Reduced Speed" and so on, all indicating that the Amish are traveling on these country roads so be careful.



The horse and carriage is a symbol many associate with the Amish. Another symbol you often see decorating the barns in Amish country, and also often for sale in Amish gift shops, is a decorated star with 8 points in different shapes and forms.



The Amish say it is NOT the Hex sign. Many believe this symbol is simply made to represent the Amish so they have something to sell in their gift shops.
