Monday Musings ... Stained Glass

 I could sit quietly in a church and enjoy the beauty of the stained glass windows for hours. Sitting in silence inspires  me to pray. 

One online source states that stained glass windows in Catholic Churches help bridge the gap between the earthly and divine.   When, worshipers were unable to read, they were able to see biblical stories portrayed in stained glass.  

Today when many  people are literate, the art in stained class is often a way to remind worshipers of Bible stories and truth.  I wish there had been  was a pamphlet to share the story of this window.
