The Most Stunning Stained Glass Windows In The USA (PHOTOS)

HUFFINGTON POST

When stepping into a holy place, our eyes seek the light. If we're lucky, the light will be shining through a stained glass window, adding illumination and beauty at once. Stained glass windows tell stories, educate and inspire. Doctor Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, the mind behind the theory of the five stages of grief, once wrote: "People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within." Take in their beauty here:
