THE GIRLS ARE BEAUTIFUL AND THEIR FROM A COMMUNITY. sorry bout the caps. there are communities around the world where people live and raise families according to their religious beliefs. there are jewish communities and christian and muslin and roman catholic. on sundays the catholics go to their respective parishes for mass and then as a community meet for 2 hours and pray. there are older folks and babies. there usually a group of singles and high schoolers. most of the main body is made up of married men and their wives. during the week the men and women meet in share groups, separately. the younger groups have their own meetings and after prayer time they all have fun and some date each other. the catholic communities operate that way and the main point is to grow as a christian and live in a world and be able to raise your children in a christian manner. every saturday evening in the community families meet together to have a Lord's Day celebration. similar to the type the orthodox jews have with all the food and the special breads except the men and women meet together and celebrate the beginning of the Sabbath at 5pm on saturday, ending on sunday evening. my wife makes the greatest Lord Days bread.

also when the communities meet, the girls are required to wear dresses like those two girls and the men wear ties. there are over 200 families in my community and i know each one well.

I remember when I was a kid. My mother bought the same outfits for myself and my two other sisters, just in different sizes. I guess, to prevent jealousy amongst siblings. Needless to say, we all looked alike!
