To: Hebrews 11:6
Bravo for the fine collection of images. I had the privilege of working in many nations of Europe, in which both the stained glass and wall paintings were being cared for and restored, specifically because, in a time of general illiteracy centuries ago, the stained glass, wall paintings and statuary all contributed to telling the stories which are the foundation of Western civilization, before denominations began to seemingly divide. The images tell magnificent stories and convey a power which tomes of theological work sometimes miss. Beautiful! Sometimes a picture is worth well more than a thousand words.

Kudos!

Even in a time of general literacy, the visual depictions of these stories have a profound impact. A picture is worth a thousand words ...
