Descriptive text by Laura Lushington of the windows and their iconography, together with related passages from the Bible. Stained glass did not exist before Christian times; the art of stained glass is essentially a Christian art. In Christian churches the windows became a means not only of illuminating a building, but also of communicating visually Bible stories and Christian truth.

In their quest to depict Bible stories and characters graphically and colourfully, the craftsmen transcended their art to produce works which contribute to the overall mystery and grandeur of the medieval cathedral.
