The stained glass windows illustrate the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Each pane is a sermon.

For many years after Jesus was on earth, most people did not know how to read. The stained glass windows and murals of many type on the walls of churches were how they learned the Bible. Creative, beautiful and inspiring

Yes, this has been done in many ways. In Japan a French priest used his paintings and drawings to explain the gospel. That was a couple of centuries ago. The town still celebrates him. He was quite a gift tot he community near Nagasaki.
