Stained glass windows began in the 11th century and beautifully illustrated
stories of the Bible that were not available to lay people who could neither
read nor gain access to the few books available. In brillant colors the windows
proclaimed God's glory and power. The windows reached out and grabbed
the viewer's attention.

We at St. Matthew's wish to express our appreciation to Orletta Kunz, who
designed our windows, and to Janis Finlinson whose artistic work is reflected
in the construction of these windows.
