Religious Stained Glass Windows are unique as a art form because of the relationship that exists between the glass and the light. Natural light by which the world is made visible, has been symbolically equated with goodness and beauty since the beginning of time. Therefore light itself was the very focal point of the philosophies and religions of mankind. In the Middle Ages where illiteracy was most prominent in Europe the church was a place to gather the people to convey their message using symbols and images in the stained glass windows to communicate and reinforce a story in beautiful inspiring color. Colored stained glass has a spiritual quality that when energize by light has a kinetic quality like no other medium that connects to the hearts and souls of all that view them. Creating a stained glass window with the unique qualities that stained glass has, can have a very soothing and tranquil effect on the mind, body and soul.
