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 window - and discover why art history professor Dr. Susan Ward suggests there is more than meets the eye.

I remember as a child going to a real church with stained glass windows & statues. It was quite intimidating and yet you knew you were in a place like no other. As you stared at those windows and then the sun light got brighter it felt like God was brighting the windows so you could appreciate it's true beauty. It felt very spiritual indeed. Sadly these new churches being built look and feel like you're at a small strip mall. Not spiritual at all. I miss the old church. Now it's a youth center.

Ive only seen this Church once, everyone tends to.think.that Trinity Church is the little Church that the Brave Firefighters rested during 9/11. Unless you know Manhattan its easy to overlook.
