STAINED GLASS FACTOID:

Stained glass design may portray narratives from the Bible, historical events, or literature; may represent saints or patrons, or use symbolic motifs, in particular armorial. Windows within a building may be thematic, for example: within a church - episodes from the life of Christ; within a parliament building - shields of the constituencies and coats of arms; within a college hall - figures representing the arts and sciences; or within a home various landscapes.

Stained glass, as an artform and craft, requires the artistic skill to create an appropriate and workable design, and the engineering skills to assemble the piece. A window must fit snugly into the space for which it is made, must resist wind and rain, and also, especially in the larger windows, must support its own weight.
