In churches that became Protestant, there was often a significant reduction or complete removal of religious imagery and ornamentation, reflecting a shift towards simpler worship practices. Many Protestant reformers viewed elaborate art and iconography as distractions from the word of God, leading to the destruction or alteration of altars, statues, and stained glass windows. Instead, the focus shifted to preaching and scripture, resulting in more austere and functional church interiors that emphasized the sermon over visual representation. This transformation marked a departure from the Catholic tradition of art as a means of conveying spiritual truths.
