Stained glass is a type of glass made by bonding small pieces of colored glass together using a lead rim with an E-shaped cross section to create pictures or patterns. The glass is colored by mixing metal oxides into it. It is often used to decorate the windows of Christian churches and Western-style buildings. It appears very beautiful to the human eye because it is viewed using light transmitted from outside. During the heyday of modernist architecture, which rejected decoration, it became less used, but today stained glass is being rediscovered and is used in public buildings, homes, churches, and more. As a glass craft, it is also used in lamp shades and other items. [Quoted from Wikipedia]
