Since you aren't specific, I will answer with the assumption you are speaking about stained glass windows. In most Cathedrals the stained glass windows tell stories from both the old and new testament. Please remember that when many of the Cathedrals in europe were built most of the people could not read. The pictures in the stained glass windows were something like a picture book. The pictures told a story without the use of words. Both the placement of the windows and the stories they told helped to reinforce Christian beliefs.
Much of the most beautiful stained glass work that has ever been done was done for the windows of European cathedrals between 1100-1600 AD.

Stained glass windows are used to depict images, usually thematic. e.g. In a church, there would be stained glass windows depicting stories from The Bible, in a college lecture hall, there could be stained glass windows depicting flora and fauna.
Stained glass is decorative, and when it is well done it is beautiful. It is most often seen in churches and cathedrals, but it does not have to be based on religious themes.
