In Medieval Times, stained glass windows were created to illustrate the teachings of the Bible for a largely illiterate population. +++ They are still made, not because the population is generally illiterate but for aesthetic reasons (or to repair old ones).

They can also be for secular buildings, as decoration. Nor need modern stained-glass windows illustrate anything, but they can be simply coloured for the play of light through them.
