Staining the Glass


Stained glass.  A quick review of history traces the form of art back to the ancient Egyptians and Romans, with its height during the medieval times. 

Stained glass can easily be found adorning places of worship, household windows and even a Tiffany lamp or two.

This particular glass adorns the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Denver, CO.  It depicts Jesus and his apostles in a boat on rough seas. This is a representation of doubt; found in James, as well as the Gospels.
