I have never heard this term used, but if it has been it is because the churches contrained windows that told the stories of The Bible. People couldn't read so the church to teach the bible stories used the church itself to teach the stories. They were in the stain glass windows and in the paintings as well using the "stations of the cross" to teach the bible.
