Description of Work

The use of stained-glass windows seems like an obvious addition to a church to add color and light in the sanctuary, but they are also implemented for less obvious reasons. Including specific imagery and symbology in the windows help not only those who cannot read learn about the bible’s stories but also help bring people together to form a sense of community within the church. The stories in the bible bring people together and teach them valuable lessons so it is imperative to include them in the decoration of a sanctuary where all of God’s stories are to be shared
