Question

Were the stained glass windows used only for decorative purposes or did they have other reasons they were made for? Do the stained glass windows share any common traits?

Answer 1

1. Stained glass windows were used in churches to enhance their beauty and to inform the viewer through narrative or symbolism.

2. The coloured glass is crafted into stained glass windows in which small pieces of glass are arranged to form patterns or pictures, held together  by strips of lead and supported by a rigid frame. Painted details and yellow stain are often used to enhance the design.
