Stained Glass: 1,000 Years Illuminated

The story of stained glass-windows dates back more than a millennium and reflects the evolution of ecclesiastical architecture and Christian thought. We invite you take a tour of the development of this majestic art form – from the monumental Gothic windows at Chartres Cathedral to the iconoclasm of the Reformation, to the 2022 installation of Trinity’s own striking new widow – and discover why art history professor Dr. Susan Ward suggests there is more than meets the eye.

Here are some of the sacred spaces whose stained glass appears in the video: 

Trinity Church Wall Street 
York Minster
Chartres Cathedral
Gloucester Cathedral
