Stained Glass Sheds Radiance
For Celebrations of Holy Day
- Biblical stories and personages come to life in a blaze of color. Light and color combine
to create an . ever-changing mosaic. From dawn to dak-to dark, patterns vary with the light.
Designs seeynkto live and move as colors change in intensity.
While ChVistians around the world gather to celebrate the holy festival of Christmas, _
• these dazzling effects add to the beauty and Solemnity of the celebration, as stained glass windows shed their radiance throughout churches large and small.
The art of creating stained glass windows is ancient — known in the ages before re-
corded' history began, say the editors of the Encyclopedia Americana. Yet the windows.
themselves seem always new. As light plays upon the colors of the glass, the living beauty
of the windows is constantly renewed and reborn. Appropriately, the age-old yet ever new
story of, the Nativity is a favorite subject for these windows. Through the centuries, artist

craftsmen have preserved the
spirit of 'the first Christmas,
in stained glass.
Thus for countless wor-
shippers this Christmastide,
the light that shines through
the stained glass windows of
their" churches,
,the wonder of Christmas.
Why ft Began
The "why" of using stained
glass windows in churches—
and secular buildings, too —
is simple and logical. Like-all
windows, they're intended to
admit light and keep out
wind and weather.
Colored glass helps in con-
trolling both the amount and
the quality of light admitted
to buildings. And the com-
bination -df light and color
forms patterns appealing and
restful to the eye.
Tradltally, stained glass
windows canplement the ar-
chitectural design Of the
building where they appear.
How It Began
The "how" of creating
stained gls windows' is com-
plicated = in some resjects
as difficult and time-cons
ing as it was in the Midd
Ages, although modern
methods and equipment do
give today's 'stained glass
artist, certain advantages.
'AThe rainbow-like effect of
the windows comes from
pieces of glass — sometimes,
hundreds of pieces — fitted
• together and held together
with strips of lead.
Today.:s artists don't have
to make their own glass,
leads 'and pigments. That's
one advantage 'they enjoy
that was denied to the early
artist craftSrpan.
But they do have to, plan
and work painstakingly., from
the beginning of a scale
drawing in precise colors
through the development of
actual-size paper patterns
and on to such final steps as
firing, glazing ancfcementing.
What It Shows
The art of stained glass
Windows reflects nearly every
artistic style and movement
of the past several centuries,
including Romanesqtie, By- 1„
zantine, Gothic, Renaissance,
Romantic arid modern.
Until the late Gothic peri-
'. od, artists believed that a
stained glass window should
be decorative rather than
pictorial. With•.the Renais-
sance came a trend, toward
illustration rather than de-
sign.
In succeeding yeas, the
balance has shifted between
the traditionally decorative
and the more pictorial styles.
How 11,Continues
A relatively small band of
artists keeps the art of the
stained glass window alive.
In a discussion of stained
glass art in North and South
America, the Americana lists
some 24 artists working in
stained glass, in studios
throughout the United
States, as, well as others in
Canada, Mexico and South
America. ,
Among them are revival-
ists, who work in terms of
the earliest traditions of
stained glass. Other .artists
take the contemporary ap-
proach, but their use of free
forms carries out the belief
that light and pattern, fath-
er than .illustration, make it
picture in stained glass.
