Under the Light of Trachselwald, Swiss Year of the Anabaptist, 2007
More than four centuries ago Trachselwald Castle was a dark place for Anabaptists in the Emmmental Valley of Switzerland. Many Anabapist (Mennonites) died for their faith there. As part of the Swiss government's Tauferjahr 2007 (Year of the Anabaptisr), Open Air Trachselwald was held in September 2007.
This outdoor event, held on the west slope of the castle, bright together Anabaptists, State Reformed Church, and many more for a time of celebration. This castles significance has become reconciliation and has become a Light! May all Anabaptists become a Light instead of the "quiet in the land." Dale D. Gehman, Producer, Videographer, Photographer and Editor.

Dale shows how to skin a lamb and how to flesh the lamb skin in this video. There are several ways to get a lambskin to tan for rugs and throws. If you have lambs, then you have a source to get a skin, either after butchering the lamb or after one dies. This was Dale's first skinning of a lamb which took about an hour. It took Dale another 30 minutes to flesh about half and another 10 minutes t...

      Thanks for watching! You are right about the Amish not wanting videoed or photographed. As part of the agreement I had with them, I wouldn't show their faces out of respect for their culture. I think most of them hadn't joined the Amish church yet, so they themselves might not have cared if their faces showed but they did not want to disrespect their families and their churches. Also as part of agreement was that I posted it to UA-cam as a private video so they could see it first and ok it. The leader seemed very pleased with it. So I then made it public! Blessings, Dale D.

      @@martyb3783 I grew up in that area and my parents would frequent Der Dutchman. I've been there, it is awesome. I assume it is still in business. There are a lot of Amish and Mennonite restaurants in the Wayne/Holmes County area that had great German cooking!
