It’s the story of the universe and everything in it. We are born. We live. We die. What is the reason for us being on this Earth if we are just going to leave someday?

This made me think that there must be connection between stained-glass window art and Catholicism. Each stained-glass window seems to depict a unique story behind them. I am not certain who everyone was in those painted stained-glass windows. What I am certain of was that there were not only divine beings in those stained-glass windows.
