History of Stained Glass: Stained glass has been around for centuries, and its origins are not certain. However, the earliest known examples of man-made glass are Egyptian colored glass beads from around 2700 BC. The Romans were the first to use stained glass in their homes in the first century AD. The art of stained glass flourished in Europe during the Middle Ages, and the oldest surviving stained glass windows are from the 10th century. Abbot Suger, who lived in the 12th century, is considered the father of stained glass windows . He was responsible for the stained glass windows at the Basilica of Saint-Denis in France, which were designed to create a mystical atmosphere. The windows depicted biblical scenes and were intended to inspire awe and wonder in the viewer. Today, stained glass is still used in religious buildings, but it has also become a popular art form and is used in many other contexts.
