Puritans Religious Lifestyle

This collection is based on the religious lifestyle in Puritans in the 16th and 17th Century. The puritans left England to create a colony that was based upon the Bible. These images shows that puritans were heavily religious, and lived by everything in the scripture. Through these images men and women had particular ways to dress to meet the standards of the Puritan lifestyle, because they were very strict about what is violating their religion. 

Those who violated their religion where punished in some sort. If you were believed to be doing witchcraft, you were put to death. These punishments were done in the public for everyone to see, so that it could humiliate you for the sin you have committed. 

Below are a list of the images
