What is the name of pictures painted on churches windows?

The pictures painted on church windows are called "stained glass." Stained glass windows often depict biblical scenes, saints, or religious symbols, and they are designed to create vibrant colors and intricate designs that enhance the worship experience. These windows not only serve a decorative purpose but also convey spiritual narratives and teachings to the congregation.


Why were stained glass windows made?

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). Nowadays such windows, if made for churches are as likely to illustrate some local theme or subject relevant to the church and its congregation as to illustrate Bible stories. 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.


Where did stained glass windows come from?

The origins of the first stained glass windows are lost in history. The technique probably came from jewelry making, cloisonn and mosaics. Stained glass windows as we know them, seemed to arise when substantial church building began. By the 10th century, depictions of Christ and biblical scenes were found in French and German churches and decorative designs found in England.
