stained glass
Colorful church panels
Stained glass is colored glass used in decorative windows, especially in churches.
The pieces are held together by lead strips to form pictures or patterns, often depicting religious scenes or abstract designs.
Light passing through creates the distinctive effect: The cathedral's stained glass cast colored shadows across the floor.
