Church Windows

Stained Glass Church Windows

The history of art in western civilization begins with religious art. In the early church, depicitions of biblical scenes and characters were thought to be exempt from the prohibition against "graven images" in the book of Exodus and almost all art of this period was religious art. So naturally, Stained Glass got its start in the churches and cathedrals of Europe.


Many of the Stained Glass windows in early European churches were decorative, geometric patterns, designed to inspire a sense of awe and peace with the interplay of light, color and form. Others illustrated biblical scenes to a largely illiterate congregation. It was the use of Silver Stain on these windows that gave them the name Stained Glass. The term has since been broadened to include almost any colored glass and the windows made from it.
