stained glass windows
Colorful cathedral panes
Stained glass windows are decorative panels made of colored glass pieces joined by lead strips, typically found in churches, cathedrals, and historic buildings.
The glass is colored with metallic salts during manufacture or painted and fired.
Light passing through creates luminous effects, and the windows often depict religious scenes, geometric patterns, or narrative imagery: The cathedral's stained glass windows date to the thirteenth century.
