What are Stained Glass Windows?
Stained glass windows are windows made from colored glass which has been arranged to create an abstract design or pictorial image. They appear widely in much of the Northern Hemisphere, especially in religious architecture. Many people enjoy the aesthetic of stained glass windows, which flood an interior space with multicolored light and serve an ornamental function, and formal buildings sometimes include stained glass accents. The intent behind stained glass windows is not concentrated on the admission of light; it is to enhance a space, tell a story, or awe the observer.
