OHIO - For more than 100 years, the three angels and one Christ figure depicted in the four, life-sized Tiffany stained-glass windows watched over weddings, funerals, baptisms and Sunday morning services. Only half of Tiffany's religious-themed windows, commissioned during the church-building boom at the turn of the century, have survived - the others lost to time and deterioration. The windows, which were carefully removed from the church, are undergoing conservation and cleaning to remove more than a century of soot. The museum plans to put them on display by next winter, as a stunning complement to its collection of Tiffany vases, one of the earliest documented collections in the nation. [link]
