Life in the UK Test 35
During the Middle Ages, many cathedrals had stained glass windows that told stories about what?
Correct Answer: The Bible and Christian saints
During the Middle Ages, stained glass windows in cathedrals were designed to tell stories from the Bible and the lives of Christian saints. At a time when most people could not read, these colourful pictorial windows served as a form of visual education — bringing scripture and religious stories to life for ordinary worshippers.
Famous surviving examples in Britain include the windows at York Minster, Canterbury Cathedral and Lincoln Cathedral, which contain some of the finest mediaeval stained glass in the world.
